As we celebrate Israel’s 70th anniversary in 2018, we rejoice in its vigor, maturity, longevity, energy, advances, culture, creativity and permanence. It will be our pleasure to welcome you in Israel so that you may see for yourself the country’s dynamism and achievements. We at Isram Israel have been celebrating with Israel for decades. Back then, our role was to take groups of Americans to see the wonders of an old-new land. Today, working out of both Tel Aviv and New York, we’re able to bring to the American visitor all the very latest of what is happening in Israel – and also make it relevant to American tastes and expectations. In the second decade of the 21st-century, our most popular offerings continue to be our group tours. But many travelers choose to come individually. Or they come in a small group of friends or family. They come to celebrate a special family occasion, or jump in a car and go it alone, or hike or bike, or sample some of the world’s hippest restaurants, or just sprawl in a world class resort. Isram Israel unveils a wealth of opportunities, angles and methods of discovering not only the traditions that made Israel the Holy Land, but also the everyday wonders that makes Israel one of the most earth-shatteringly modern, culture-rich and high-tech countries on the planet. So however you want to travel, this booklet has it all. From the holy to the holistic. From the religious to the outrageous. From the spiritual to the spirited. The Bible is the book that thousands of years ago made Israel what it is. And this newest Isram Israel brochure contains your key to finding, seeing, experiencing and falling in love with every corner, every facet of this miraculous land. Come celebrate Israel’s 70th anniversary. And see it knowing you’re traveling in the care of the country’s most experienced, dedicated, imaginative and respected travel company.
