One of the most fascinating and historic cities in the world, Jerusalem is the capital and largest city of Israel and dates back to 4,000 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. Temple Mount, Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Dome of the Rock, al-Aqsa Mosque, among many others. Located 70 kms east of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem is located between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, which is only 45 kms away, 427 meters below sea level and renowned for its therapeutic Dead Sea Salt. Beyond its omnipresent religious significance, Jerusalem is also known for its arts and culture scene. The Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, the Palestinian National Theatre, the International Convention Center and Jerusalem Film Festival, as well as many other events and institutions, broaden the palette of fascinating sights and activities.
