One of the most fascinating and historic cities in the world, Jerusalem is the capital and largest city of Israel and dates back to 4000 BC. It is a major center for all three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and boasts an Old City (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site) teeming with religious monuments (e.g. the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock, the al-Aqsa Mosque, among many others). Located 60 kms east of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem is located between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, which is only 35kms away, 420 meters below sea level, and renowned for its therapeutic Dead Sea Salt. Beyond the omnipresent religious significance of this place, Jerusalem is also well-known for its arts and culture scene. The Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, the Palestinian National Theatre, the International Convention Center and the Jerusalem Film Festival, as well as many other events and institutions, broaden the palette of interesting sights and activities for visitors.
