Early in 1992 I spent over a month exploring Israel on foot, by bus, and by train, researching for my guidebook Daytrips Israel. The book was published in 1993, with a revised edition in 1996. Sadly, events since then have precluded a third edition. Maybe in a few years there will be peace and tourists will again fill the streets. We can all hope. Anyway, the links below lead to accounts of my adventures there.
AN ADVENTURE IN ISRAEL. It's January 1992 and I'm off to Tel Aviv to begin work on the book. This part covers Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Ramat Aviv, Rishon LeZion, Ashkelon, and Beersheba.
MORE ADVENTURES IN ISRAEL. This post is mostly about pious Jerusalem, but also includes Bethlehem, the Dead Sea, and Masada.
HAIFA — ISRAEL'S GREAT SEAPORT. It's February 1992 and I've discovered the most enjoyable city in Israel, stayong there two weeks and making a fascinating daytrip to Akko.
THE NORTH OF ISRAEL. My last week in the Holy Land was spent exploring several sites in the north. including Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, Safed, and Caesarea.
A Daytrip to Ashkelon. This lovely old town near the Gaza Strip has many Roman ruins, and is easily reached from Tel Aviv.
While some of the practical information in Daytrips Israel (1996) is dated, the historical information and destinations remain valid to this day. Check it out by clicking on its title in the box below, or on the Buy button to purchase at a very good price:
