Jerusalem is popular for international students studying in Israel and also the country’s top visited city in terms of tourism. The largest city in Israel, Jerusalem is also one of the oldest in the world. Whether it’s referred to as “The Holy City,” or “The City of Gold,” there will be a unique experience filled with the oldest of the old and the newest of the new.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all believe this area to be sacred. Miracles are believed to have taken place here too, but you do not need to be religious to appreciate the city’s beauty. Jerusalem's 220 historic sites include world renowned gems like The Walls of the Old City (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), The Dome of the Rock, and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial. Located in central Israel, it is about equidistant from the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and just a short distance from Bet Guvrin-Maresha National Park, so there is no shortage of natural areas to enjoy.
Tel Aviv, known as The White City, offers undergraduate and graduate level study abroad programs, as well as a fantastic beach, popular night life, and shopping options. It’s home to museums ranging from art, to history, and politics. Tel Aviv allows students to have the full Mediterranean cosmopolitan experience, as well as the opportunity to live in Silicon Wadi, Israeli’s high-tech center.
Haifa is a true microcosm of Israel, with the three main religions living side by side in peaceful coexistence. Haifa is home to some of Israel’s most visited tourist attractions, including the beautiful Baha’i Gardens. The city offers both beautiful beaches and fresh mountain air, so it appeals to a wide range of student interests with options for excursions camping, hiking, and swimming.
