If you appreciate the natural beauty of the countries you visit, make a point of stopping at the Hula Reserve on your trip to Israel. Declared a nature reserve in 1964, it was the first ever nature reserve in Israel! It is a paradise for birdwatchers as it is an important sport for migratory birds that travel from Europe to Africa. The many different walking paths give tourists a chance to stretch their legs as they take in all the reserve has to offer. There are many observation spots where tourists can watch the birds-a favorite of many of the visitors.
