  Travel the country

  Since Israel is a relatively small country, it's easy to travel from city to city during your free time. Use your weekends to experience the cultural scene in Tel Aviv, hike desert trails, or go back in time walking the ancient streets of Jerusalem. Many cities are only an hour’s bus ride from the center, so you’ll get to know the country like the locals do in no time.
