]]>Jerusalem, Israel
Jerusalem is the epicenter of monotheistic religion. The cobblestoned streets and ancient ruins is a testament to the thousands of years the land has witnessed. We recommend a stroll through Jerusalem’s Old City where you’ll enter through ancient gates into times of Judea. The city is separated into quarters—Jewish, Armenian, Arab, and Christian—all offering their own unique history and culture that is a tapestry waiting to be unwrapped.
Pompeii, Italy
Pompeii is the ancient city in Italy that was destroyed by a volcano thousands of years prior. Many artifacts, stones, and and statues, remain intact after being in rubble for so many years. The city allows you to step back in time, and bear witness to the lives of Ancient Romans, and see genuine artifacts that make you feel like you were really there.
Athens, Greece
Athens makes your middle school history textbook come to life. As the sight of the first Olympic games, you’ll get a glimpse into life as an ancient Greek and bear witness to Ancient ruins that will transport you back in time.

]]>What to Do in Mitzpe Ramon
There are so many attractions in the Mitzpe Ramon area, but if you’re an adventurous type, we definitely recommend checking out the hikes in the area. There is also a campsite at the bottom of the crater, which is a great experience. People often go and marvel at the stars, as it’s the most remote place in all of Israel–making it the clearest view of the night sky in the area.
When to Visit Mitzpe Ramon
Despite being located in the desert, the climate changes depending on the season. There are pretty strong winds throughout the year, which means it always feels colder than the weather report might say! It also gets pretty cold in the winter (especially when you account for the wind chill), so we recommend going in the fall and spring months. Going at this time of year will ensure that you also beat the heat and strong UV rays of the summer months.

]]>Best Time to Visit
April through May and October through November are the best times to visit Jerusalem. The temperatures are better, ranging from the mid ’60s to high ’70s, and there are less crowds. Be sure to check the calendar for Jewish holidays because that’s when the prices are the highest. Summer is peak season even thought the temperatures are really hot.
How to Get Around
The best ways to get around the city are by bus, train, or foot. Many of the attractions are within walking distance of each other. Taxis are another option, but they’re expensive.
Where to Stay

Each of the districts has its own vibes, religious sites, shops, and foods.

Six Sense Shahrut comprises 60 suites and villas and offers stargazing sessions, camel treks, and floating in the Dead Sea.

Guests are encouraged to learn life hacks to help them be more eco-conscious at home and learn about Six Senses’ signature plastic-free bottling process at the Earth Lab. One can even visit the water bottling plants.
“With a passionate team, we’ll work to create out-of-the-ordinary guest experiences in a setting of biblical proportions,” said General Manager Thomas Fehlbier in a statement.

]]>Tel Aviv Museum of Art
This museum is worth the visit for its spectacular building alone, but the real magic starts once you step inside. It’s best known for its modern and contemporary art collection, showcasing both Israeli and international artists, but its sculpture garden is also a sight to behold.
Nahum Gutman Museum of Art
Nahum Gutman Museum of Art is another great place to explore Israel’s thriving art scene. As its name suggests, this museum mainly serves as the display of Nahum Gutman’s works of art, but it’s also open to young contemporary artists who want to showcase their works.
Design Museum Holon
Just like Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Holon is one of those museums that are equally impressive both inside and out. Its colorful building is impossible to miss, and its collection includes everything from historical and contemporary design to furniture and fashion pieces.
