Concise, broad, and with great images and maps! Excellent resource for the Holy Land traveler!
The book I'll take with me:
The pictures and historical information are what made me decide to take this with me on my trip. I still like Lonely Planet, though, because they help you form a better plan for how you'll get around and the best route to take.
Great book for information and reading:
This book is full of useful information for travel to Jerusalem. Also,it is great reading for understanding the culture in Israel.
Recommended... with some reservation.:
This book was initially purchased in 2000 and I wanted an updated version as so much has changed in 8 yrs.
I was disappointed as I found pretty much the same pictures and content.
That being said I LOVE the DK books for travel ...they are terrific guide books.
