A magnificent fusion of old world atmosphere and modern luxury, Jerusalem’s magical environs offer the location, facilities and professional expertise for hosting an unforgettable corporate event. Steeped in history and offering a wide variety of cultural events, Jerusalem is an ideal hub for conventions and meetings throughout the year. Where else can you hold a business meeting with a backdrop of an ancient historical fortress or hold a gala dinner in a 4,000-year-old cave and then go out on a pub and bar crawl till the wee hours of the night?
Jerusalem’s rich past and modern-day elegance, combined with a big emphasis on cultural tourism, are a magnet for visitors searching for a meaningful experience in conjunction with any corporate event.
With a history that dates back more than 4,000 years, Jerusalem is one of the oldest and most important cities in the world. History’s steady progression has since placed Jerusalem on the map as the central point for the three major monotheistic religions. The very nature of the city is a colourful array of cultures, languages and faiths – all under the same roof. Rarely can a guest be unaffected by the powerful energy of the city.
The city’s 11,000 hotel rooms provide something for everyone – from de luxe to contemporary, stylish boutique hotels to professional conference properties.
There are also a range of excursions available for pre or post tours including the Israel Museum, The Bible Lands Museum and the Dead Sea.
The Jerusalem Development Authority has created a one-stop-shop for event organisers together with:
• Attractive financial incentives for events – grants are available for eligible conferences
• A cultural centre with more than 150 museums and galleries
• Internationally acclaimed events and festivals all year round
• One of the world’s leading exporters of science and technology and a centre of academia
• Dozens of restaurants and bars
• 40 minutes from the airport
