How Nigerians Can Get a Visa to Israel

The State of Israel is a country in the Middle East, with the Mediterranean Sea located to its southeast, and the Red Sea to its north. It is regarded by Jews, Christians and Muslims as the biblical Holy Land, and most of its religious sites are in Jerusalem. Its financial hub, Tel Aviv is Israel's own Lagos, that is, its financial hub, known for Bahaus architecture and a bustling nightlife, and not its offical capital. Israel claims Jerusalem as its capital, but that claim is not recognised internationally.
