The world’s top cyclists came to Israel for the Giro d’Italia race. Argentina’s soccer team followed, for a friendly match in Tel Aviv. Then came the European Acrobatics Championships. 

It’s not only professionals who have discovered Israel as a destination for sport and wellness. Visit any beach and you’ll see the yoga tourists. Head to Jerusalem during marathon season and the city is awash with runners. Walk around any city and you will see street workouts, open air hip hop lessons, and parkour daredevils. 

The countryside is full of breathtaking trails for hikers of all abilities. Even Biblical sites have become high-energy: Visitors kayak down the Jordan River and clamber over a floating obstacle course constructed in the Sea of Galilee. 

Israel has a vibrant outdoors culture, and the weather to match. Ask for a tailor-made IEfitness itinerary and we’ll help you make the most of it, whatever your interests and level of fitness. 

We know where to take you in this small-but-varied country for the best experiences, any time of year. We have itineraries that hack the seasons, so in a week-long trip, you can do water sports in the hot desert sun, then go ski-ing on a snowy slope.
