On January 9, 2022, Israel started allowing vaccinated tourists in their country. Here are the top things to do in Israel if you happen to visit the country.
Visit Yad Vashem
The world’s largest Holocaust museum is located in Jerusalem named the Yad Vashem. It is the official memorial to the Jews who were murdered and who fought against the Nazi oppressors.
