Introduction
In the winter months, Israel is known for its long days and cool temperatures. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a great time to visit! The landscapes change as the weather gets colder, but that means you’ll see more colors in nature and there are plenty of things to do when you get there. Here are some suggestions:
The Dan Caesarea Hotel
The Dan Caesarea Hotel is located in a quiet area of Caesarea and offers an array of services and amenities. The hotel has been designed by Philippe Starck, who also designed the famous Musee d’Orsay in Paris. In addition to its modern design, this boutique hotel offers a wide range of facilities such as an outdoor pool, spa treatments, and a fitness center.
The rooms at the hotel come with all modern conveniences including Wi Fi access available throughout the property along with satellite TV channels or DVD players if you want to enjoy your entertainment while away from home.
There are five types of rooms available at this luxury property: Standard Rooms (with twin beds), Superior Rooms (king size beds), Suites & Spa Rooms (separate living areas), etc.
All of the rooms at the Caesarea Hotel are spacious and feature a balcony with views of the Mediterranean Sea or the surrounding mountains. The bathrooms are also large and modern and have been fitted with a bathtub as well as shower facilities.
Yehonatan Valley and the Jordan River
The Yehonatan Valley is a popular hiking destination in the Judean Desert, where you can see ancient ruins from Byzantine times and hike through nature reserves that offer breathtaking views of the Jordan River.
- Location: The Yehonatan Valley is located about 40 kilometers east of Tel Aviv and about an hour’s drive from Jerusalem. It’s also close to other cities like Haifa, Acre, and Akko (Acre).
- What To See: You’ll find several sites here including the caves where David fled after killing Goliath; a Crusader castle built by King Baldwin II in 1172 CE; Roman era ruins including a large pool at Khirbet Qumran where they found scrolls written by Essene priests who lived here 2200 years ago; medieval buildings like the one used as a pilgrim site during medieval times when Jews were forbidden from entering Jerusalem due to tensions between Muslims who were on one side while Christians were on another since both groups worshiped different versions of God (Jehovah), making them unable to coexist peacefully together without conflict erupting between them which eventually led us down this path today with our modern day conflicts over religion.
Masada
Masada is a fortress and palace complex built by Herod the Great. It was built to protect the Dead Sea and Jerusalem from the Romans. The location of Masada has been debated since ancient times, but it’s now considered one of Israel’s most popular tourist attractions.
Masada consists of a series of terraces that rise from below sea level on an outcropping called a “Mountain,” which sits above what we call Mount Gerizim today (this mountain is part of Masada). The site was first discovered in the 1880s when workers digging foundations for an Arab village found ancient tombs beneath layers of soil; these remain visible today at different levels along with several chambers inside them containing pottery shards dating back thousands of years!
In 1947, archaeologists began an extensive dig at Masada. They found numerous buildings and artifacts that helped them better understand what life was like in the stronghold of ancient times. From the first century BC through AD 70, Masada was used as a fortress by Jewish rebels who fought against Roman rule during the First Jewish Revolt (66-73 CE). These rebels were led by Eleazar Ben Yair and his family until they committed suicide rather than be captured by soldiers sent to capture them as part of a siege on Masada.
Ein Gedi Spa
Ein Gedi Spa is located in the Ein Gedi nature reserve, which overlooks the Dead Sea and has a view of the Judean Desert. The spa offers treatments such as mud wraps, massages, facials, and body scrubs.
The spa also has a relaxation room, steam room, and swimming pool. The resort is located within walking distance of the Dead Sea.
The spa also offers tours to nearby sites such as Masada, Qumran, and Ein Gedi Nature Reserve. The Dead Sea is a popular tourist destination in Israel because of its salt laden waters, which have been shown to have anti aging properties.
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth, with an average depth of about 1,000 feet (305 meters). Its waters are 10 times saltier than the ocean.
