Into the Heart of Jerusalem : A Traveler's Guide to Vacations, Celebrations, and Sojourns  - From the Wailing Wall to the Dome of the Rock to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem is an awe-inspiring place, a city steeped in history and sacred to three religions. But, as Arlynn Nellhaus explains in this one-of-a-kind traveler's guide, it is also a vibrant contemporary metropolis, an urban center with its own rhythms, customs, and special places. Nellhaus, an American who has lived in Jerusalem for more than a decade, offers a treasure trove of up-to-date information on itineraries, accommodations, restaurants, and historical sites. A city soaked in history and sacred to three religions, Jerusalem is also a vibrant, contemporary urban center. Nellhaus, an American resident of Jerusalem, delivers up-to-date information on itineraries, accommodations, restaurants, historical sites, and cultural mores. 40 photos.

Cities and Towns In Israel


Eilat
Behind you, the Negev desert. Before you, the Red Sea. In the south of Israel on the Gulf of Aqaba, the Club Med Resort Coral Beach is full of discoveries. Here, the incredibly rich sea bed and the natural and historical sites conjure up a time of beginnings, a biblical time. There's a family atmosphere where Europeans and Israelis meet, and with its Kosher restaurant and grill menu, its warm decorative scheme and swimming pool, Coral Beach offers an unusual vacation, interspersed with dives into another world and excursions* into another age. *At an extra cost. The public beach 650 feet long with a 160 foot private area, sand and a few stones. This beach looks out on to the Jordanian mountains. Delimited swimming area. This beach is equipped with loungers and shades. Gardens consisting mostly of palm tress and multitudes of flowers.

The Club Med resort of Coral Beach has 284 rooms, all located in the hotel, divided into two adjoining sections. ●"La Tour" is the main building and has 10 floors with an elevator. ●Annexed buildings on 4 floors. A club room designed with wooden floors and furniture. Consider the advantages of the "La Tour" Sea View Room, on the upper floors of the hotel facing the sea, a spacious room, with a big balcony facing the sea so that you can take full advantage of the superb view of the gulf. On the top floor of the "La Tour" building, facing the sea, a very comfortable suite.

Our executive chefs rivalize to reinvent themselves and constantly surprise you not only with their food but also with their show. Located inside the hotel, Le Reef Restaurant offers a selection of kosher dishes at the buffets. The terrace enables you to benefit in full from the tranquility of the adjoining countryside. A baby corner is available for parents to prepare meals for their little ones. This is a non-smoking area.

Marriott has hotels in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv
My preferred hotel chain is Marriott. I have stayed Residence Inns, which are prefect for longer stays with all the comforts of home; Spring Hill Suites, which I have found nice for longer stays as the have up to 25% more room than comparably priced rooms; Towne Place Suites, again when I want more room or am on a longer stay; Courtyard by Marriott, which has everything the business traveler needs, as well as families; Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, which I find spacious, comfortable and affordable. Another great idea is to stay at one of the JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts where you can enjoy a new dimension for your vacation or holiday. and Marriott Hotels and Resorts and have found them all to be of consistent quality and service. I have also stayed at some of their Vacation Club properties and have enjoyed each visit. AAA members can get discount rates at Marriott, as can Seniors.
