Gil Travel Announce ELAL Special Family Rates for Israel Tours

Online, March 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Gil Travel, leading Israel tour specialists & Jewish heritage travel experts since 1974, announce special deals for families planning to vacation in Israel this summer with ELAL special family rates.

"An Israel family vacation presents an exciting opportunity for children and teens to learn about their culture and history," reports Iris Hami, Vice-President of Gil Travel. "Our goal is to present the information in a way that is interactive and fun for children. In fact, we make a strong effort to match each guide with the type of people on a particular tour, in order to find the guide that is most suitable to each group's age range and interests."

Recommended education adventures for the whole family to enjoy during an Israel Tour include:

• A donkey ride at Kfar Kedem, where travelers can actually hitch a plow to one of the donkeys and work the land or put their shoulder to the wheel of an ancient grindstone to prepare the whole-grain flour.
• A jeep ride up the Golan Heights, one of Israel's most beautiful and controversial regions.
• A chance to pet the kangaroos at Gan Guru.
• A swim in the Gan Hashlosha water springs.
• A trip to the new Jerusalem Zoo and Wohl Archeological Center
• A (surprisingly affordable) plane ride over the Dead Sea.
• Bike riding in the Hula Valley
