ENEM 2017 — Questão 5

Israel has always been a standout destination¹. From the days of prophets to the modern day nomad this tiny slice of land on the eastern Mediteranean has long attracted visitors. While some arrive in the ‘Holy Land’ on a spiritual quest, many others are on cultural tours, beach holidays and eco-tourism trips². Weeding through Israel’s convoluted history³ is both exhilarating and exhausting. There are crumbling temples, ruined cities, abandoned forts and hundreds of places associated with the Bible. And while a sense of adventure is required, most sites are safe and easily accessible⁴. Most of all, Israel is about its incredibly diverse population⁵. Jews come from all over the world to live here, while about 20% of the population is Muslim⁶. Politics are hard to get away from in Israel as everyone has an opinion on how to move the country forward — with a ready ear you’re sure to hear opinions from every side of the political spectrum⁷.
