Tel Aviv lies in the heart of Israel, both geographically and economically. From its position on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, Tel Aviv serves as Israel's focal point for innovation and industry, and is the undisputed core of modern culture in Israel.
With restaurants, clubs, and bars that only really start to get busy when midnight rolls around, Tel Aviv combines the high-energy lifestyle of its entrepreneurs with the laid-back style of its surfers and bohemians. The multi-ethnic mix of its inhabitants creates a cultural mosaic that makes Tel Aviv unique.
Because Israel is such a small nation (only 500km long and only 10km wide at some points), Tel Aviv is a great launching point for trips to anywhere in the country. Those who seek spiritual sustenance can journey to Jerusalem in less than an hour of driving. Those who feel the pull of the desert can be alone among the sands in even less time. And those who want the green, rolling hills of the north and the beautiful tranquility of Lake Kinneret (The Sea of Galilee) can be there after only two hours in the car.
