Hostelling Information

Country Overview

Dive among coral and turtles; visit extraordinary archaeological and holy sites; take a Jeep safari across the desert; horseride through fertile valleys; float in the Dead Sea. From the green and pleasant farmlands of The Galilee to the bustle and museums of Tel Aviv and the ancient buildings of Jerusalem, there is much to explore in Israel. The Hula Valley is an impressive nature reserve, with otters, sea eagles, jungle cats and other wildlife; Akko on the Mediterranean Sea is an ancient fortress city; the lush oasis of Ein Gedi offers desert hiking trails and natural mineral therapies. Stretching between Shlomi in the north and Eilat on the Red Sea in the south, there is a network of hostels that are well placed to take in Israel's highlights.
