Amirim

Amirim, to holiday in Israel and to feel as if you were overseas.

The new roads built in recent years have made Amirim more accessible to the center of Israel. When driving in the Upper Galilee you will immediately feel and see the difference:  the scenery is greener, the air cleaner and cooler and even the light seems different.
 
When arriving in Amirim, open the windows, breath in the fresh mountain air, listen to the birdsong and look out on the mountainous scenery and the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret). All this is here in our small country, not overseas.
