To more develop this approach, as from the recent January 16, 2013, Google continues to make Google Maps more comprehensive and accurate. Therefore they have published street-level imagery of hundreds more cities, towns, villages, heritage sites and tourist attractions across Israel.


This means that, henceforth you can  virtually tour the picturesque city of Safed in the North, the coral reef in Eilat in the South, visit the lowest point on earth at the Dead Sea, and wander around the narrow passageways of the old city of Acre. Etc. 

 In addition they have also added imagery from cities, towns and villages including : Ashdod, Ashkelon, Be’er Sheva, Bnei Brak, Eilat, Isfyia, Kfar Qasem, Kiryat Gat, Nazareth, Netanya, Ofakim, Petah Tikva, Rishon LeTsiyon, Sderot, Tira, and many.etc.
