Tel Aviv is a great place to base yourself as it has the most nightlife of any city in Israel, it has an awesome food scene and it’s the easiest city to get to from the airport.
These day trips from Tel Aviv will take you across the country so you don’t have to change cities or accommodation if you don’t want to.
From the Holy sites in the north to biblical stops in the east and stunning scenic viewpoints in the south, these tours from Tel Aviv will show you everything an Israel trip can show you.

Day Trips from Tel Aviv
These Tel Aviv day trips are a perfect way to explore Israel while having a base in Tel Aviv.
Best of the West Bank
Length: 12 hours
One of the best day tours from Tel Aviv if you’re limited on time and want to see Palestine and as much of it as possible is this Best of the West Bank tour.
This tour takes you into Palestine (West Bank) to the most popular cities of Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, the oldest city in the world, Jericho and Ramallah.
There will be a tour of each city and an Arabic style lunch included.
Kibbutz Experience Tour
Length: 5 hours
While I didn’t particularly love this tour, there were others in my tour group that found the whole experience fascinating.
A Kibbutz is a communal way of living, a community that is created where everything is shared, including peoples income. It really is an interesting way to live, that’s obviously not for everyone, but this Kibbutz experience gives you an insiders look at one of Israel’s successful Kibbutz’s.
Caesarea, Haifa and Akko Day Trip
Length: 11 hours
Tel Aviv is a great place to base yourself even to explore the north as it’s a much more interesting city with more nightlife than any of the cities up north.
On your way to the north on this tour, you’ll stop in Caesarea to see ancient Roman ruins, Haifa, to see the beautiful Baha’i Gardens and Akko, an ancient port city on the Mediterranean cost.
Even further north you’ll make a stop at the blue grottos of Rosh Hanikra and be able to see the border to Lebanon.
Jerusalem Old and New City Tour
Length: 11 hours
Jerusalem tours from Tel Aviv are ideal if you’re short on time. This Jerusalem tour covers it all from the four quarters in the Old City that includes the most famous landmarks such as the Western Wall and new parts of the city that includes visiting Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum.

Nazareth, Tiberias and Sea of Galilee Day Trip

This tour visits the holiest sites in the north with stops in Nazareth to see the Church of Annunciation, Capernaum, the Town of Jesus, the Sea of Galilee and you can even have a baptism service in the Jordan River.
