Israel, the State of Israel, is situated in Western Asia in the southeast of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern region of the Red Sea. Egypt borders it in the southwest, Jordan in the east, Syria in the northeast, and Lebanon in the north. It also has borders with Palestinian territories of the Gaza Strip in the west and the West Bank in the east. As there are immigrants in the country, it is common to hear various languages in the street, but Israel has one official language: Hebrew. Israel is a small country with Mediterranean shores, mountainous areas in the north with the Great Rift Valley, and the Negev desert in the central south. The Galilee mountains are the highest region of Israel in the north. With its diverse topography, Israel has two types of climates. From October to April, cool, rainy winters and dry, sweltering summers dominate the region from May to September. The coast becomes fresh with the winds from the Mediterranean sea. With the desert winds from Egypt, heat waves can occur from April to June, and the temperature can rise to 40 °C (104 °F). The temperatures change from 13 °C (56 °F) in January to 28 °C (82.5 °F) in July and August. The best time to visit Israel is spring and autumn, in April, October, and May. Easter time is an excellent period to see religious and historical interests. It is better to pack a jacket, some warm clothes, and a raincoat for winter. For summer, it is advisable to have light clothes, a hat, and hiking shoes.

People & Culture of Israel

Jewish culture and history dominantly shape the country. The Arabic influences in the architecture, cuisine, and music and the contributions of minorities like Armenians, Druze, and Circassians make the culture of Israel even richer. This combination makes Israel a cultural centre. Shabbat is an honoured time of festivity, a rest day on the seventh day of the week. Restaurants, shops, and public transportation don't work to enjoy this festival. Its cuisine is Middle Eastern and kosher. Brunch is quite popular with shakshuka. Israeli people are well educated and well mannered though excessive politeness can block communication. Smoking inside is common, but smoke-free areas are also available.
