Israel itself is modern and westernized, it has great public transport, architecture and plenty of English speakers.  Consider two weeks in Israel so you can hit the major highlights, including Masada, Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, Haifa and the Sea of Galilee.  Everything is within easy reach by public transport, car or bicycle.  Shalom!
