Magical Mystery Tour - Imagine being told only what kind of clothes to pack, without a clue about the destination. It's actually been done and with phenomenal success. At check-in, all indication of the Airline's name was covered, and this continued within the plane. Upon landing at the destined airport, all staff --- including passport examiners! --- were in plain clothes instead of uniforms, and all signs were covered. Outside, on the coaches and along the entire route, every sign which could possibly hint at the location was covered. Not until everyone alighted at a sumptuous reception in the desert did the participants begin to realize they were in Eilat! Round Robin - Those who want to keep group sizes to a fixed number, but who have a lot of participants to reward might consider a multiple destination program, with separate groups rotating among the venues. This concept enjoyed great success with a major US group, as hundreds at a time visited Israel, Egypt and Greece, in turn. Today, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Cyprus, Turkey and Greece provide a natural combination. Cultural Events - Attend festive concerts by Israel's finest orchestras. Every major city has at least one concert hall, with Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem each having several. For smaller groups, blocs of tickets can be obtained for scheduled concerts of orchestras such as the world-renowned Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. A Night at the Opera, at the beautiful new Tel-Aviv Performing Arts Centre. Book a bloc of seats or engage the New Israel Opera for a command performance. An Evening of Dance performed by one of Israel's fine companies. These range from folk-dance companies to classical and modern ballet
