The land of ancient treasures and religions, Israel tourist attractions are numerous and varied. Here is my list of top 10 places for your first time in Israel.
Spot #1 Jerusalem – Church of Holy Sepulture
Christondom’s most important holy place, the Church of Holy Sepulture can be overwhelming at first. The thought that Jesus was once buried here and you can actually touch HIS tomb can be a very overpowering experience.

The focal and most sacrosanct part of Jewish Quarters is the Western Wall. Heavily guarded, the Wall is open to all faiths, though modest dress and head covering is required. It’s a also great opportunity to experience the Bar Mitzvah festivities, here in this quarter.
Spot #4 Jerusalem – Souvenir shops
Bring back incense souvenirs to make your house smell nice and fresh. There are plenty of souks at the exit of jewsih quarters selling these colcorful incense pebbles.

Spot #10 Tel Aviv
Relatively much recent, this limestone Clock Tower marks a major cultured shift in the urban Tel Aviv. Christians, Jews and Muslims all heed to the ring of the same bell today rather than that of a house of worship.
