A comprehensive travel guide by Daniel Robinson, published by Lonely Planet. The most recent major edition was released in 2022 and provides an in-depth guide to traveling across Israel and the Palestinian Territories, including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, the West Bank, Dead Sea, the Negev Desert, and Gaza Strip (where travel conditions permit).

Rather than being a narrative travel memoir, the book serves as a practical companion for independent travelers. It combines detailed maps, suggested itineraries, transportation advice, accommodation recommendations, local cuisine, cultural etiquette, historical context, and safety information to help visitors plan their journeys. It also highlights both iconic landmarks and lesser-known destinations, encouraging travelers to explore beyond the most famous attractions.

The guide provides extensive background on the region's history, archaeology, religions, architecture, and diverse cultures. It covers major sacred sites such as the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the ancient fortress of Masada, and nearby destinations including Petra. Cultural insights on local traditions, food, festivals, and practical customs make it useful for first-time visitors as well as experienced travelers.

As with most Lonely Planet guides, the emphasis is on balanced travel planning, helping readers understand the region's rich historical and cultural heritage while navigating logistics responsibly. Because conditions in the region can change quickly, travelers should supplement the guide with up-to-date official travel advisories before planning a trip.
