Tourist: Netanya is Home to World's Prettiest Women.

By YnetNews.com

Israelis may not be aware of this, but it appears that the global capital of feminine beauty is located right here in the heart of Israel.

A 67-year-old Australian tourist who arrived at the Allenby border crossing between Jordan and Israel Wednesday, declared

The traveler explained to the baffled border guards that he recently divorced his wife after 40 years of marriage, and that he was hoping to find a life companion in Israel. "My friends told me that the best place to find a gorgeous bride is Netanya in Israel. In Australia they say that the most beautiful women in the world can be found in Netanya," he proclaimed.

The man added that he did not know anything about Israel, and that he would not have dreamed of coming to the country if he did not hear so much about the Netanya girls.

Persuaded by the optimistic tourist's explanations, the guards allowed him to enter the country and perhaps even wished him good luck in his quest. Officials at the Interior Ministry noted that this was not the first time tourists have commented on the attractiveness of Netanya's women.
