Oslo in Norway is one luxury destination that offers the best activities, winter or summer.

Why didn't the Oslo Accords work?
Simple Version
There are a number of people and political parties both in Israel and Palestine and outside that have a vested interest in seeing one party defeat the other entirely. The notion of a shared peace is undesirable to these people. In addition, internal issues such as trust between the parties deteriorated with time. Finally, the Olso Accords were not intended as a long-term solution, but as a jumping-off point for future negotiations.
Oslo was founded right at the end of the Viking age, so probably not.
