Jerusalem

Just a 40-minute drive on Route 1 from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem is often the primary reason for visiting Israel. Considered the spiritual centre of the world, Jerusalem is a holy place for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Even if you’re not religious, you’ll appreciate attractions like the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Western Wall and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Beyond the religious highlights, explore Jerusalem’s vibrant streets and bazaars.

Caesarea

About 50 minutes from Tel Aviv along Route 2 is Caesarea, an ancient Phoenician port city conquered by Alexander Jannaeus. Explore the ancient fortifications from the Crusader occupation of this city, as well as the impressive Roman theatre. Caesarea is settled right on the Mediterranean coast, making the drive here extremely pleasant.

Dead Sea

Floating in the Dead Sea is a must when visiting Tel Aviv. Drive 140km to Masada (via Route 1 and Route 90) to experience this fascinating attraction, which is actually a hyper-saline lake containing so much salt it’s impossible to sink in.

To make it a journey you won’t forget, pick up your Avis car hired from Israel’s Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport and get out there.
