For a long time, Israel & the Palestinian territories have been considered the last place to visit in the Middle East because of the passport stamp thing. Since my passport is to expire this year, I wanted to pay a visit to Israel but later I learned that they introduced a new system in 2013 to issue tourist card instead of stamping your passport. Nevertheless, I decided to keep the plan and added two small Mediterranean countries to enhance the trip.
