Israel's capital is Jerusalem. The biggest city of Israel is Tel Aviv at the coast. Flights to Israel usually go to Tel Aviv/Haifa. Israel is a small country and so we cannot show more cities on our map of the world.
The official languages of Israel are Hebrew, Arabic and English. These languages are written in three different scripts. Because Israel is so small on a map of the world, we can only show the name of the country and Jerusalem in all three scripts, the name of Tel Aviv in Hebrew and Latin.
Tourism is of relatively high importance in Israel. Many pilgrims of the Jewish, Christian and Musulman religions like to visit the city of Jerusalem and other important sites. The state of Israel was founded in 1948 by Jewish people from all over Europe, refugees who escaped and survived mass killings organized by German (and Austrian) Nazis, judges and administration employees. When immigrating to the Palestinian country, which hosts the state of Israel today, it was sometimes overlooked that the country had already been populated for centuries by Arabic-speaking people of Musulman and Christian religions. Living together has never been properly organized, which still leads to bloody conflicts until today. A Palestinian state of its own has been about to be set up for several years (Gaza etc.). We would appreciate more detailed information, also about tourism, flights, or individual tours to Israel.

This
is our Map
of the World with original scripts (original size 70 x 100
cm), from which the detailed map shown above has been cut out. The numbers of
city inhabitants and vegetational zones were researched by hand for every country,
by using the sources listed below. This procedure prevented the map from containing
traditional errors provoked by simply copying such information from previous
maps.
The
map can be ordered for 11.50 Euros (+ postage and packing) at www.wissenladen.de.
Sources
on which the information contained in this map is based:
The
vegetational base map was aligned with satellite pictures from Google
Earth.
The
official names of the countries are quite well researched at www.geonames.de.
Also here you can find information on the geography of many countries: www.geographixx.de.
The
numbers of inhabitants of the cities were taken from www.citypopulation.de.
And
the mountain peak altitudes were largely derived form www.peakbagger.com.

with maps are linked.

Commercial
reprints of detailed maps like this one, including on commercial web pages,
are not principally excluded, but require explicite permission of the publisher.
We will be pleased to grant such a permission, prices are individually negociable
and certainly not too expensive. Please contact fwelter#gwdg.de (replace # by

Reprints
for non-commercial purposes are even less complicated - but also in these cases
please inform the publisher in advance, and in any case mention the source www.planetposter.de.
