Editor's note: In no other country can you go from snow-topped mountain peaks to the lowest point on Earth (the Dead Sea, 420 meters below sea level). But Israel doesn't stop there; this small but exquisite country also has forests, craters, caves, challenging hiking, waterfalls and palm-lined parks if you want a slightly more urban experience. For a country that's known for its technology, Israel surprises with an endless array of gorgeous landscapes. Scroll through this collection and you'll see exactly what we mean!
