This guide to Israel focuses on the major cities of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa. It also provides a guide to Galilee, Negev, the Dead Sea, West Bank, and Coastal Strip. It covers all the main sights, area by area, in an easily navigable format. Descriptions of the main attractions include Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Dome of the Rock, Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, and Eilat's Timna National Park and Coral World. The guide also contains background historical information, advice on shopping and entertainment and the low-down on eating out. There is an A-Z of practical information, listings of recommended hotels and restaurants and useful expressions in Hebrew. The book also contains special features on topics ranging from the first kibbutz to Dead Sea bathing tips, and from Bedouins to holy relics. An excursion to nearby Petra, Jordan's fabulous "rose-red city" is also described. Maps show Israel, Haifa and Jerusalem, and there are dozens of colour photographs throughout.
