| Tel Aviv - The Church of St. Peter (Russian Orthodox) |
The sunny, spacious gardens surrounding the Russian Orthodox Church of Tabitha’s Tomb is a unique place to commemorate Peter’s raising of Tabitha from the dead (Acts 9:36-43), and to pray in a rarified old-world atmosphere.

| The Banias Waterfall
The Banias Waterfall provides one of Israel’s most beautifully tranquil spots. Set within the Banias Nature Reserve in the Golan, the Banias is a spring which rises from the base of Mount Hermon, Israel’s tallest mountain, flowing for about 3.5km through a gorge, eventually coming to the impressive waterfall, the largest in Israel.

| Ceasarea - Ancient aqueduct and Haifa - The Bahai Shrines |
The town was built by Herod
the Great about 25–13 BCE as the port city Caesarea
Maritima. It served as an administrative center of Judaea
Province of the Roman Empire, and later the capital of the
Byzantine Palaestina Prima province during the classic period. Following the Muslim
conquest in the 7th century, the city had an Arab majority
until Crusader renovation, but was again abandoned after the Mamluk conquest. It
was populated in 1884 by Bosniak immigrants, who settled
in a small fishing village. In 1940, kibbutz Sdot Yam was established next to
the village. In February 1948 the village was conquered by a Palmach unit commanded by Yitzhak
Rabin, its people already having fled following an attack by the Stern Gang. In 1952, a Jewish town
of Caesarea was established near the ruins of the old city, which were made
into the national park of Caesarea Maritima.
On July 8, 2008, the Shrine of the Báb, along with several other Bahá'í holy sites in Haifa and the nearby city of Acre (Akko), were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.[3][4] The Bahá'í shrines "are the first sites connected with a relatively new religious tradition to be recognized by the World Heritage List."[5] The UNESCO World Heritage Committee considers the sites to be "of outstanding universal value [and]...inscribed for the testimony they provide to the Bahá’i’s strong tradition of pilgrimage and for their profound meaning for the faith.

| Old Jaffa - The clock Tower and Tel Aviv skyline at night |
Is one of seven clock towers built in Israel during the Ottoman period. The others are located in Safed, Acre, Nazareth, Haifa, Nablus (West Bank) and Jerusalem, the last being the only one that has not survived until today.[1]

The tower, which is made of limestone, incorporates two clocks and a plaque commemorating the Israelis killed in the battle for the town in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
