Attractions

Mini Israel

Despite the fact that Israel is a small country, the number of attractions, holy places and cultural monuments is incredible. It’s not possible to visit all interesting places during one vacation, but there is a wonderful alternative - a miniature park! Mini Israel Theme Park is located near Ben Gurion Airport and today is one of the largest parks of its kind in the world. Here, every tourist will be able to see about four hundred miniature models of various sights of Israel. Here are historical, religious and modern monuments made by hand. Each of the attractions presented in the park looks incredibly realistic and conveys the flavor of Israel and the spirit of the people. Especially for the Mini Israel Park, live dwarf trees and shrubs were grown.

The monastery of Latrun

This monastery was founded over 100 years ago by Trappist monks. One of their beliefs is that the name of God cannot be pronounced in the sua. The monks currently residing in the monastery spend their days mainly on physical work done in silence. There are special rooms in the monastery where they can talk, but the monks themselves try to do this as little as possible. At Latrunsky Monastery ptoduced the world-famous production: wine and olive oil and it can be bought in a nearby store. 

Ancient Jaffa (Jafo / Jaffa)

In antiquity - the main port city of Israel, currently - the artistic and historical center of Tel Aviv. Jaffa attracts a huge number of tourists. The city of Jaffa has a centuries-old history, during which it was repeatedly conquered and constantly changing. It is believed that  in this city  Noah’s ark was built, and here Perseus liberated Andromeda. Today, Jaffa is a popular place among tourists who like to stroll slowly through its many streets, where an indescribable mysterious atmosphere reigns. There are many restaurants, markets, galleries, museums. There is also an underground museum where numerous objects found during archaeological excavations are presented.
On the streets of Jaffa, you can always see a lot of creative people, for example, artists paint pictures here during the day, and in the evening musicians delight the hearing of passers-by with their compositions.
Jaffa today is an incredible combination of antiquity and modernity, a quiet corner in the bustling Tel Aviv.

Diamond Exchange

The Israel Diamond Exchange is located in several adjacent high-rises in the Tel Aviv suburb. The company provides services related to the processing of diamonds and the sale of polished diamonds.
The Israel Diamond Exchange is a huge complex of jewelry stores, banking and post offices, as well as a variety of cafes, restaurants and hairdressers. The Israel Diamond Exchange is like a small town that has all the necessary facilities, including medical services and places designated specifically for prayer.
When someone buys a stone on a diamond exchange in Israel, he can be sure of its quality and authenticity, since the exchange issues an international certificate for every purchase. Turning to the services of the Israeli diamond exchange, the client has the opportunity to purchase a stone of any size, purity and shape. In addition, the buyer can choose: receive only the stone itself, or a finished product with this stone (for example, a bracelet or ring).

Tel Aviv

This city is only a hundred years old. Tel Aviv is surrounded by beaches: the city lies on the Mediterranean coast, on its eastern side. The streets of the seaside town here are bizarre and beautifully combined with modern quarters built up with skyscrapers.

Tel Aviv is noisy and different, a real metropolis. There are educational institutions,  representative offices of foreign countries, museums with galleries, business centers,  restaurants with hotels. Already from this list it is clear that the city lives a full life, knows how to work and relax. Also,  Tel Aviv is famous for temples: they have interesting architecture.

It's great to admire the city from above. Apparently, this is why both local residents and guests love the observation deck on the 49th floor of one of the city's skyscrapers. The view from here is stunning! A visit can be combined with breakfast, lunch or dinner - there is also a good restaurant.

Спасибо за экскурсию! Я из Румынии, и вчера была на экскурсии с экскурсоводом Шаулем на маршруте Тель-Авив-Яффо и т.д. Хочу благодарить за чудесные рассказы об истории этой страны, о борьбе храброго народа, о легендарных людях, создателях всего того что означает сегодняшний Израиль. Спасибо за чуткость Шауля к пожилым людям, за то, что никого не оставил за собой и, тем не менее не опаздывал. За это благодарю и водителя, Нассима, который сумел удачно избегать все пробки на дороге. Спасибо Атлантис!
