And it's fascinating! Ever since I took my trip to Israel, I've wanted to explore via Google Images. Now I can. In particular, check out Tel Aviv, which looks like a cross between a traditional European city and Tokyo.

surprised the israeli government allowed this due to their heightened level of security and all.

I was thinking the same thing. According to Google, the cameras went through in Oct. 2011. I have to say, it looks quite nice, much more so than I expected.

I lived 7 years in Petah-Tikva. Shitty little suburb of Tel-Aviv but I hope google expands there I wanna see my old stomping grounds.

Tel Aviv looks like big cities in Latin America. Doesn't really look remotely European, North American or Middle Eastern (IMO).

I like the Old City Jerusalem street views.

If you go near the core, you get a lot of Bauhaus buildings, which, IMO, make the city look very European. The scattered modern high-rises make the city look Asian, IMO.

Just did a Street View tour of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. It could take hours to do it justice, though. I really like the vegetation and flowers all over Jerusalem. I didn't realize it looked like that.
