Tourism trail to visit Israel, Spain, Morocco
09 May 2008
A new joint tourism initiative could see the creation of a tour that runs through Israel, Morocco and Spain, according to reports.
The collaborative project could trace a journey once made by 12th century scholar and philosopher Rabbi Moshe Ben-Maimon.
Plans for the tour were first presented to a convention of ministries of European and Mediterranean countries in March, the Jerusalem Post reports.
The proposal received a positive reaction, paving the way for a tour visiting a number of locations associated with the scholar's life, such as Cordova in Spain, Fez in Morocco and Tiberias in Israel.
Shaul Tzemach, director general of the Israeli tourism ministry, said: 'Israel is rich with historical, archeological, religious and cultural sites that can constitute a platform for popular tourist programs, and the tourism ministry plans to promote this sort of cooperation with the relevant states in the region.
'This sort of cooperation will expand the Israeli tourism repertoire, deepen the cooperation with international forums and enable the joint efforts to market the experience the region has to offer.'
Opodo cheap flights and hotels - let the journey begin!
