Flying to Istanbul on Turkish airways an unforgettable experience.
Istanbul, next to Venice and Rome is the loveliest city in Europe and one of the most splendid in Asia. It is the only city in the world spread over two continents, separated by the Bosphorus. Istanbul's status as a crossroads for trade and cultural exchange endured during the centuries. Must-see attractions include the dazzling treasury in Topkapi Palace and exquisite buildings of timeless beauty such as the Blue Mosque and Basilica of St. Sophia. Istanbul is known as one of the best cities for street food. The markets are filled with fresh produce and the assortment of nuts is abundant.
After a short stay in Turkey, I flew to Israel.

Massada is situated on the top of a mountain with steep sides and a flat top like a parapet overlooking the desert panorama to the west and the Dead Sea to the east. The thrilling story of the site reveals the courage of the defenders of Massada and their battle against the conquering Romans. The remains of the fortress of Massada are well-preserved and have been reconstructed in an effort to pay homage to the site and its heroic inhabitants.
The Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth in any land mass. It is called the Dead Sea because its salinity prevents the existence of any life forms in the lake. The Dead Sea contains incredible healing properties. Travelers from all over the world come to experience floating in the Dead Sea's calm waters.
