Following a successful week at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, Sonam Kapoor’s fashion looks on the red carpet, and therefore her outfits, made headlines, the Neerja actress made her way to Israel. This was Sonam’s first visit to Israel, who was accompanied by her mother Sunita Kapoor, where they spent time unwinding and relaxing while still visiting the sites and sights, enjoying the vast cuisines and the culture in Jerusalem, Dead Sea and Tel Aviv.

Sonam on her visit to Israel said, "Israel is beautiful and exciting. I was thrilled while exploring Israel and everything about this place is so unique! When I was in Jerusalem, the character of the city, the culture, beautiful alleys, markets, and lovely people kept me hooked all the time. I also felt that Dead Sea is out of the world experience which I will always cherish. I hope to be back here soon...."

Sonam’s main agenda of travel to Israel was to shoot the cover story of Harper’s Bazaar Bride Magazine in the stunning Jerusalem. Sonam extended her trip after the shoot and also met Mr. Amir Halevi, Director General - Israel Ministry of Tourism, along with Mr. Hassan Madah, Director - Israel Ministry of Tourism India.

Mr. Madah said, "Bollywood music is popular in Israel, but the sighting of a Bollywood star is not common so we were happy to welcome Sonam Kapoor as she is among the first few Bollywood celebrities to visit Israel. Sonam's visit was special because she was accompanied by her mother Sunita, and after a successful photo-shoot in Jerusalem, they extended their trip to discover parts of Israel and also meet some of her fans. As India is an important market for us, we continue our focus to attract Indian travellers to Israel for leisure travel like honeymoon, family vacations or adventure, as well as MICE, and we hope that Sonam Kapoor's visit will attract her fans to visit the country as well."
