Israel (Insight Guides) ReviewI have been to Israel a number of times, including a couple of fairly extended stays. I know a lot about the country and its people. But for this trip, which I took with my young adult daughter, I wanted a guide book. I wanted a guide book so that I could look up specifics on places of which my memory or knowledge was vague, and also so that my daughter would have a reference for general background information, including history, culture, etc. This book was excellent for those purposes. At times it seems a little thin, but that is just because there is simply so much to see in Israel, and so much to say about it, that it is impossible to do it even guide-book-level justice in a book of this size. So my pointing to the occasional apparent thinness is not a criticism of the book but a recognition of the inevitable compromise it must represent, and I think the authors have struck that balance fairly well. I suggest you use this guide for deciding what you want to see, learning a little background, and finding it. But then you will need to pick up local materials (maps, brochures, etc.) for more in-depth knowledge. Buyers of this book should be aware that it is a guide to Israel itself, not to hotels, restaurants, etc. The book is physically of high quality, with many color pictures printed on strong, high-quality paper. If anything, the physical quality of the book makes it a bit heavy for something to travel with. On the whole I heartily recommend it.Israel (Insight Guides) OverviewA brand new title featuring illuminating text written by expert, local writers alongside over 250 inspiring full-colour photographs that will bring Israel's people and places to life, at the turn of a page.A special 'Best of' feature highlights the top attractions not to be missed, including Jerusalem's Old City, Bethlehem and Nazareth.The 'Editor's Choice' section covers exclusive and unique recommendations, including the best beaches, markets, walks, and even some handy money-saving tips.From the key sites rich in history and religious significance, to the simple pleasures of a Dead Sea mud bath and a walk along one of Israel's beautiful beaches, all of Israel's attractions are included to ensure you experience the very best of this diverse destination, whatever your interests.An in-depth 'Places' section covers the entire country, from the pastoral landscapes of the bible to the modern buzz of Tel Aviv.All the principal sites are conveniently cross-referenced by number to accompanying full-colour maps throughout the guide to enable instant orientation and easy navigation at a glance.You will also find a fascinating chapter on the country's long and intriguing history from the 'Dawn of Civilization' to the 'Coming of Age', alongside attractive, colour-coded features exploring Israel's people, religion, cuisine, art and much more.A comprehensive 'Travel Tips' section provides essential practical information, covering transport, accommodation for all budgets, eating out, nightlife, shopping, activities for children and much more, along with useful contact telephone numbers to help you book activities in advance.The unique combination of insightful exploration alongside practical advice means that this guide truly is a pleasure to read before, during and after your visit.
