Israel was always one of the destinations we wanted to visit. History of the land and the fact that it is place of all religions. Muslims, Christians and Jews lived there for two thousand years and every place in this country described in the bible, torah and Koran.
When I was in school my friend gave me Bulgakovs Master and Margarita. I imagined that place as it was described there.
When we started to prepare to go to Israel we couldn’t book any tours trough US travel agencies because of the latest developments in Israel, Are you crazy? It is not safe there. Our friends told us but we decided to go.
We booked hotel in the center of Tel Aviv and booked tours for five days through tone of largest local agencies.
Israel is small country. You can cross it by car in6 hours.
Our first trip was Jerusalem (about two hours drive) . We arrived in Israel in Passover.
