Acre: Acre is a beautiful historic walled port city found in the Western Galilee region of Israel. It is a city with a rough calculated population of 46,000 people since the Phoenician period up until the present. Two-thirds of Acre's population is Jewish, and about one-third of it is composed up of the Arab citizens of Israel.
Beit Lehem: Beit Lehem is the Hebrew word for “House of Bread.” In English, the town is now called Bethlehem. In Arabic it is pronounced “Bayt Lahm” and means “House of Meat.” Beit Lehem is a Palestinian city in the center of the West Bank. It is about six miles south of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem: Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel. This walled city is located very near the center of Israel and is the most holy city in the world! Jerusalem is located atop the Judean Mountains 800 meters above sea level.
Nazareth: Nazareth is the largest and capital city of the North District of Israel. Nazareth sits in the center of a natural bowl and is approximately sixteen miles from the Sea of Galilee. The city is nestled in the Nazareth range, which is the southern-most hill range in the lower Galilee.
The Sea of Galilee: The Sea of Galilee is also called Lake of Gennesaret, Lake Kinneret or Sea of Tiberias. It is Israel’s largest freshwater lake. The Sea of Galilee is also the lowest freshwater lake on Earth (209 meters below sea level).

Israeli Places to visit for Christians

Understandably, Israel is the historical land of all Christian believers. The country that Christ grew up around also contains many sites and scenes that influenced the world that He walked through and changed forever. From Bethlehem to Nazareth, Israel is ripe with scenes that have the potential to fulfill the beliefs and understanding of any Christian faith.

Where to Go In Israel

Getting to Know Israel

Some think that Israel is a place exclusive for religious pilgrimage because it is called as the “Holy Land” of the three largest religions, which are Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. It is unknown to many that Israel is as thrilling as the Swiss Alps on its cold winter days, as inviting as the Caribbean on the hot days of summer, as outback as Australia with its safari, and as original as the aborigines in Ethiopia.

National Parks In Israel

Israel is very abundant of Biblical sites because it is where most of Christian events accounted in the Bible took place. The remnants of post-biblical Jewish, Roman, Byzantine, Muslim and Crusader settlements and most of the national parks have been associated with these sites.

Eilat

The Bustling Desert Resort of Eilat

Eilat is a bustling desert-resort located on the shores of the Red Sea – Israel’s southernmost town. It is in the intersection of four Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and the two continents of Asia and Africa.

Negev

“It is in the Negev that the creativity and pioneer vigor of Israel shall be tested.”

- David Ben- Gurion.

Negev is an arid land that means “south” in Hebrew. It is the desert district that covers much of Israel's land area with over 13,000 km². The aerial view of Negev forms an inverted triangle shape with the desert of the Sinai Peninsula as its border in the west and the Arabah valley as its border in the east. The Negev is a craggy terrain that is composed of brown, dusty mountains disrupted by deep crates and dry riverbeds that bloom only after the rain.
