What's inside

  • Fifty real places, each with a full-color page of its own
  • A real photograph of every single attraction, not an illustration
  • Seven regions, from the snow on Mount Hermon down to the coral reef at Eilat
  • Ancient cities, mountain fortresses, caves, canyons, deserts and beaches
  • A Did You Know fact on every page, worth telling somebody else
  • Where each place is, and what it is best for: history, nature, wildlife, hiking
  • Ten of the fifty are UNESCO World Heritage places, with a page explaining why
  • Written for readers aged 6 to 12, and checked against official sources

One lake sits lower than any other freshwater lake on Earth. One sea is so salty you cannot sink in it. One mountain was made by a king who was not satisfied with the hill he already had, and one park hides more than a thousand caves that people dug by hand. Which places? The book will tell you.
