Walk Jerusalem's Old City through all four quarters
CultureThe Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Armenian quarters sit within the same walled kilometre, each with a distinct character and centuries of layered history.
Pray or observe at the Western Wall
CultureJudaism's holiest accessible site, where visitors of any faith can approach and, if they choose, leave a written prayer in the stone's cracks.
Float in the Dead Sea from the Israeli shore
NatureMineral-dense water at the lowest point on Earth's land surface makes sinking nearly impossible — cover any small cuts first, since the salt content stings.
Climb Masada for sunrise
AdventureA clifftop desert fortress overlooking the Dead Sea, reachable by cable car or the steep Snake Path, best climbed before dawn to beat the heat.
