Explore Live Cams in Israel

Israel (ישראל) is a small country on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, where Africa, Asia and Europe meet. In a short distance its landscape changes from sandy beaches and green hills in the north to the dry, rocky Negev Desert in the south, which reaches all the way down to the coral reefs of the Red Sea at Eilat.

Its most famous natural landmark is the Dead Sea, the lowest place on land on Earth, about 1,410 feet (430 m) below sea level and so salty that people float on the surface. In the Negev, Makhtesh Ramon is a huge erosion crater about 25 miles (40 km) long, and the hoopoe, with its striking crest, is the national bird.

Nubian ibex climb the cliffs around the desert oasis of Ein Gedi, griffon vultures nest on Mount Carmel, and barn owls are used by farmers as natural pest control. Tens of thousands of common cranes spend the winter in the Hula Valley, and the terraced Bahá'í Gardens in Haifa are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Did You Know? Around 500 million birds fly over Israel each spring and fall as they travel between Europe, Asia and Africa, one of the busiest bird migration routes on Earth.
