13.01.2022 The Roman port city of Caesarea is one of Israel’s wonders, combining ancient structures, archaeology and a picture-perfect harbor, and adapting them for modern use. Built by Rome’s Judean Governor, Pontius Pilate, two millennia ago, Caesarea was one of the largest and most magnificent ports in the Mediterranean, with giant piers stretching out into the sea to accommodate dozens of ships. The city of Caesarea contained a giant hippodrome, aqueduct and theater; a thousand year...s later the Crusaders arrived and built a giant fortress, and then came the Ottomans, who turned it into a seaside town. Today, the Roman theatre is a venue for concerts, the Crusader fortress is thrilling to visit and the Ottoman harbor and beach are full of cafes, restaurants and a visitors’ center. Caesarea is 45 minutes’ drive from Tel Aviv, 20 from Haifa. Explore our tours that include a visit to this wondrous site: https://www.israeltravelcentre.com.au/places-to-vi/caesarea

11.01.2022 The ancient city of Safed is considered one of the Four Holy Cities of Judaism, because it was here in the 16th and 17th century where the Kabbalah mystical Judaism developed. After the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, the Ottoman Empire opened its arms to Jewish refugees, many of whom found their way to Safed. The Old City of Safed has changed little in the recent centuries, its ancient lanes leading to several small and medium-sized historic synagogues - each more beautiful than the next. Safed’s altitude (3,000 feet, highest in Israel) and crystal clear light have made it a haven for artists, the old town is full of galleries, studios and artists painting on easels.

10.01.2022 The Mount of Olives Ridge served in ancient times as the eastern border of Ancient Jerusalem, as it creates a clear buffer separating the city from the Judean desert. The elongated mountain ridge, which extends from Mount Scopus in the north to the slopes of the Kidron Valley in the south, to the foot of the peak known as the Mount of Unction. Due to its relative height, the Mount of Olives allows a breathtaking view of the city to the west, and the desert to the east. Duri...ng the First and Second Temple periods, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount were the focus of Jewish life. This greatly influenced the status of the Mount of Olives in history and Jewish heritage. The mountain was attributed special religious significance and became an integral part of religious services due its proximity to the Temple Mount and especially because of the view that it offered of the surrounding area. Biblical sources tie the Mount of Olives with future miraculous occurrences that will take place during the Redemption. As a result, the Mount of Olives became an important site in Jewish tradition and various customs developed. The mountain was sanctified and it became a place of Jewish pilgrimage. The mountain’s sanctity, its proximity to the city and its soft chalky consistency which made it easy to dig into, contributed to the mountain becoming a place of burial throughout the generations. The tradition of burial began during the First Temple period, and continues to this very day. Today, visitors flock to the Mount of Olives for its breathtaking views and to learn about its history in special guided tours.
