Follow those oranges at the Shvil HaTapuzim!
As the citrus season just about comes to a close, it’s a great time to take the kids off to Shvil HaTapuzim - The Orange Path. Oh yes, if you and your kids love oranges and generally like letting off steam (and hey, what kid doesn’t need to…), the Shvil HaTapuzim is a perfect day [...]
O Little Town of Bethlehem
If you’re visiting Israel, there’s one place that should be at the top (or pretty darned close to the top) of your sightseeing list - Bethlehem.

The Middle East version of Facebook and Twitter: the Shouting Hill
Perhaps not on the list of conventional tourist attractions in Israel, the Shouting Hill up on the Golan Heights has recently become a bit of a tourist spot, especially for those interested in seeing the pain of the Middle East conflict at close hand.

The best beach in Israel
The beaches of Israel are drooling over material. Even if you only get as far as Tel Aviv on your visit to Israel, you’ll still have plenty to get amazed at. All that sun, golden sand, cool beach bars with accompanying eye candy and oh, I almost forgot, a glistening blue-green Mediterranean just a [...]
The Way of the Tree (Derech HaEtz)
A nice place to stop off with the kids if you’re touring in the north of Israel is “The Way of the Tree” (or Derech HaEtz in Hebrew). It’s a great place to spend a few hours while getting more familiar with the magical world of trees, before we totally take them and the environment [...]
Another Israeli market off the beaten track - Kfar Kessem
If you’ve already done Carmel Market (and its underbelly), popped over to Jerusalem and checked out Machane Yehuda, and yes, even visited the Rosh Ha’ayin market on a Friday morning, you might be ready to check out another little market. A market that almost certainly isn’t in your guide book, and rightly so some might [...]
Milk some cows at the Farmer’s Market, Tel Aviv

Israel: the good, the bad, and the ugly (Part 1)
Israel really does have it all; the sun, the fun, the food, the historical sites. But there’s also a darker side to Israel that doesn’t get mentioned in those nice, shiny, little guide books. As this site is not just about all the pretty touristy stuff, I’ve come up with three lists to explain it [...]
A nice little market probably not in your Israel guide book
On any visit to Israel it’s always worth taking a walk down one of the local markets to get a huge slice of real life; if you’re located in Jerusalem you have Mechane Yehuda, and if you’re in Tel Aviv you have perhaps the best market in the whole of Israel, if not the Middle [...]
