Not far from Kibbutz Urim, you will a beautiful oasis. The Eshkol National Park offers swimming pools and plenty of activities for the kids. The nearby Besor Scenic Route is wilder and more natural and offer great views, especially in winter and early spring when the flowers are in bloom.
Gamla is as exciting to see as Masada, minus the crowds. It's virtually the same story, but the setting is remote and viewed from the plateau above and the Kinnerret is in the distance. In the spring the fields are covered in Golan wildflowers and the waterfalls are fabulous.
If you go to the Banias stream or the Hermon Mountain, don't miss a visit to Nimrod Fortress. This is the largest fortress in Israel and was built by the Muslims at 1127AD.
Israels infamous security wall is a site all should see. In many places one can see the different lives lived within a few metres, divided by a huge 6 metre wall.also there is a photo of the Muqtata, where Arafat spent his final years. Whether you love him or hate him, there is no doubt he lived an extraordinary life.
It was Passover, the holiday celebrating the Israelites? exodus from Egypt, and our intentions of visiting the Old City were thwarted by traffic police. The whole area was blocked off to private cars in expectation of huge throngs of Israelis and tourists. So we found another way of celebrating the exodus: We visited Israel?s one and only Egyptian mummy. Museums in Israel do not display human remains, so the existence of this mummy may be one of the country?s best-kept secrets. If you want to sidle up close to an honest-to-goodness mummy and get a good look at it from every possible angle, without standing on line or fighting crowds, Jerusalem?s mummy is just the thing. Yarat-Hor-ru, as the mummy is called, lies in a glass case in the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Jerusalem, on a little side street behind the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. The institute, in a beautiful old building...
Latrun is a place (in Israel and not in the west bank like it is written in VT) close to Jerusalem (15-20 km).You can enjoy this area for half day and continue on your way.The most intersting places here are the Canada park and the monastery of the Trappist order.
The Chapel of the Primacy of Peter is but a short walk from the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and the Fishes. It is here that Jesus is suppose to have called out his disciples and named Peter the singular leader of the church. The chapel was built here in 1933 and has been declared by Pope Paul VI as a pilgrimage site. Therefore it might seem obvious that there were many pilgrims there when I visited. I noticed many of them collected stones from the ground near the church to keep as sort of religious keepsakes from the site.
if you watch commercial television you might be lead to believe that the occupied territories are full of crazy terrorists. quite the opposite, as the palestineans were absolutely wonderful.its only a short 40min trip from old jerusalem to Ramallah.
En Hod is a beautiful village on the Carmel mountain, overlooking the Mediterranean. This is an artists village, full with art works and artists' workshops. It is also the home of the Marcel Janko Dada museum. Until his death, Marcel Janko lived here in En Hod.Directions: Take road number 4 from Zichron Yaakov northwards and then turn right to road 7111. If you come from the north, take road 4 southwards from Haifa and turn left to road 7111.
Our friend Berta called in the late afternoon and said "What about a midnight BBQ at Tazpit Gorni". We of course thougth about it for apporximately 1 second and then said "YEA, lets go. We were only three families on this outing, it was really very last minute, but we threw what we needed in the car, drove out into the middle of the desert onto a plateau not to far from the Dead Sea and had a great time just watching "moon rise". In the picture is our friend Yossef, "monitoring" the grill and "checking" the wine. And if you would like to visit Tazpit Gorni for the view of Nahal Tzeliem, you can take the road from Arad toward the Masada western entrance and it is about 11 kilometers outside of Arad. You will see a sign pointing to a dirt road that branches off to the left. It is about 3 kilometers on the dirt road.
