Tag: Dead Sea

We had a wonderful trip to Israel and Jordan – Robin, Elie, Zahra, and I. We visited many beautiful areas of the country, got to see Petra and Wadi Rum, and spent Passover with family in Beersheba!

We flew into Tel Aviv and spent a few days there. As we rented a car, we were then off to explore. We headed north to Haifa, stopping along the way – especially Caesera and Akko. We had the opportunity to have lunch with Robin’s sister, Wendy, and her family.

From Haifa, we headed south to Jerusalem – an amazing place. We had a few tours, including a tour led by cousin Uri! He was newly registered as a certified guide. We stayed in the Arab Quarter. Coincidently, we were on Zahra Street and stayed at the Azzahra!

We were then off to Beersheba (Mehtar, actually) to see the family and drop Robin off. Elie, Zahra, and I then head south through the Negev to Eilat. We took a dip in the Red Sea and joined our tour to Jordan. We crossed the border (quite an ordeal) and headed to Petra and Wadi Rum. Petra is spectacular as is Wadi Rum. We spent a night at a Bedouin “camp” in the desert (a pretty fancy spot and very enjoyable).

From Jordan, we went back to Eilat, drove north along the Dead Sea, and back to Beersheba to celebrate Passover. A wonderful experience seeing one of the crossroads of civilization and visiting with family.
