For those of you who thought, "Is Israel dangerous?" In fact, it is the most chaotic and fascinating country in the world 🇮🇱✈️🌏

Have you avoided Israel because of your preconceived notion that the Middle East is dangerous?
But when you actually go there, you'll find it to be an exciting world where futuristic cities and ancient times coexist!
In Tel Aviv, you can enjoy the beach while looking at the offices of high-tech companies, and in Jerusalem, you can walk through a city where the world's religions intersect while experiencing more than 3,000 years of history.
Here are 5 reasons why you should visit Israel that will definitely shock you and make you say, "Wow, there's no other country like this!"
1. Tel Aviv: "The Silicon Valley of the Middle East x Beach Resort"
Tel Aviv, the largest city in Israel, is a cutting-edge city that is even called the "Silicon Valley of the Middle East." But at the same time, it's also a city where you can relax just like a beach resort.
✅ High tech meets fashion → Full of futuristic cafes and bars✅ The Mediterranean beaches are amazing → Some people are IT entrepreneurs in the morning and surfers in the day✅ The night party scene is crazy → Clubs, bars, and street festivals all night long
You'll definitely be shocked and ask yourself, "What? Is this really the Middle East?"
👉 Travel advice: Prices in Tel Aviv are as high as Tokyo. If you want to save money, use hostels and food markets!

② Jerusalem: "A miraculous city where human history and religion are condensed"
Jerusalem is the "holy land of the world's three major religions": Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Just walking around the city makes you feel like you've wandered into a history textbook.
✅ Judaism's holy site, the Western Wall → A place where people have been praying for thousands of years✅ Christianity's holy site, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre → The place where Jesus Christ was crucified✅ Islam's holy site, the Dome of the Rock → The golden dome is truly a spectacular sight
Isn't it amazing that these three religions coexist in the same place?
👉 Travel advice: In Jerusalem, be careful because shops and traffic are stopped for Shabbat (the Sabbath) from Friday evening to Saturday night!

③ Israeli cuisine: "Miraculous gourmet food that is healthy yet delicious"
Israeli cuisine is the strongest combination of "healthy x delicious". You might think that "the Middle East is all about meat," but healthy gourmet food with plenty of vegetables is the mainstream.
✔️ Hummus (chickpea paste) → Creamy and great when spread on bread! ✔️ Shakshuka (eggs stewed in tomatoes) → A classic Israeli dish perfect for breakfast✔️ Falafel (chickpea croquettes) → Crispy and full of spices, it's delicious!

The best thing is that even health-conscious people and vegetarians won't have any trouble finding something to eat.

👉 Travel advice: Many restaurants in Israel are kosher (Jewish dietary laws), so be careful about the types of alcohol and meat dishes they serve!

④ Dead Sea: "Float on the miraculous lake that never sinks"

The Dead Sea, located between Israel and Jordan, is the lake with the highest salt concentration in the world. In other words... it never sinks!

✅ Reading a book while floating on the lake → A scene straight out of a comic book becomes reality✅ Mud pack full of minerals → Get your skin smooth at the world's oldest spa✅ A different world 400m below sea level → Feels like you're at the end of the earth
If you underestimate it and think, "It's just a salty lake, right?", you'll find it more fun than you can imagine and get addicted.
👉 Travel advice: Be careful, as it hurts a lot if water gets into a small wound or into your mouth! Don't forget to shower.

⑤ The energy of Israelis: "Everyone lives life to the fullest"
When you go to Israel, you'll get the "power to live".
Because Israelis are...
✅ Super friendly → Even when meeting for the first time, they're like, "You're my friend too!"✅ Love to debate → Everyone talks about life seriously, so the conversation is interesting✅ Geniuses who enjoy life → Work and play to the fullest!
You'll feel that "The people in this country are so energetic...!" When you go to Israel, you'll feel like "I want to enjoy life more".
👉 Travel advice: Israelis are very assertive, so don't be shy!

Israel is a country that breaks stereotypes.

"Is Israel dangerous?" "Is the Middle East always full of war?"

It was a country that completely blew away such preconceived notions.
