Things Not to Miss in Israel.

Israel, a Middle Eastern country on the Mediterranean Sea, is regarded by Jews, Christians and Muslims as the biblical Holy Land. Its most sacred sites are in Jerusalem. Within its Old City, the Temple Mount complex includes the Dome of the Rock shrine, the historic Western Wall, Al-Aqsa Mosque and Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Its financial hub, Tel Aviv, is known for Bauhaus architecture, beaches and nightlife.

Seeing the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City, The Western Wall, Wailing Wall or Kotel is an ancient limestone wall in the Old City of Jerusalem. It is a relatively small segment of a far longer ancient retaining wall, known also in its entirety as the "Western Wall".

The Coenaculum of the Last Supper on Mt. Zion, Located in the peaceful Franciscan Church of the Coenaculum on Mount Zion, the Last Supper Room (also known as the Coenaculum) is, according to fourth century tradition, the site Jesus' fateful Last Supper. The Coenaculum is divided by pillars into two naves, and has an adjoining smaller room that is kept locked at all times. It was in this small room that the Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles purportedly took place, while the larger room was the site of the actual Last Supper itself. Other significant events also took place on this site according to Christian tradition, such as the invocation of the commandment to love one another, the institution of the priesthood, and the appearance of Jesus on Easter Day.

The Dead Sea, The Dead Sea lies between Jordan and Israel in the part of southwest Asia commonly referred to as the Middle East. It can be found between steep, rocky cliffs that are 2,500 to 4,000 feet high. Situated along the coast of Israel, the Dead Sea stretches for over 40 miles. At its widest point, the Dead Sea is about 11 miles wide. At its deepest point, it is about 1,240 feet deep. That's pretty deep, especially when you realize that the lowest parts of the Dead Sea's shores lie almost 1,400 feet below sea level themselves. That makes the shores of the Dead Sea the world's lowest point below sea level. Although its name implies otherwise, the Dead Sea isn't actually a sea at all. It's really a lake. In fact, it's a hypersaline lake, which means it's a landlocked body of water with a high concentration of sodium chloride and other mineral salts.
