Overview

The Galilee is Israel’s most fertile region with an abundance of valleys, forests and farmlands. Tourists are drawn to the recreational pursuits and historical attractions associated with the area. Lake Tiberias (also known as the Sea of Galilee) is an area closely associated with the life and times of Jesus making it a religious centre for both Christians and Jews - it has many religious shrines and historical sites of interest. The city of Tiberias was built in honour of the Roman Emperor after which it was named and has played an integral role in the history of the Jews. It served as an important spiritual centre and was the site of the compilation of the Talmud. The early pioneers established some of Israel’s first kibbutzim (collective farms) around Tiberias. Today it is a popular vacation spot offering year-round water activities, hot springs, health resorts and magnificent national parks.

Climate

Israel has a Mediterranean climate that is characterised by long, hot, dry summers and short, cool, wet winters.

Health

There are no special precautions required for travel to Israel. Travellers are advised to avoid drinking tap water. Medical facilities are excellent but treatment can be very expensive so it is essential that travellers take out full insurance.
