Day 10 - Jaffa, Tel Aviv & Mega Event
Wow, what a trip! I can’t believe how much we actually did in only ten days. On our final day in Israel, we woke up at the usual early time and jetted to the old city of Yaffo for a tour. After our beautiful beach tour of Yaffo, we had free time to shop in the Yaffo shuk for last minute ...
Day 9 - Masada, Ein Gedi & Dead Sea
You know it had to be a great day when we woke up on the floor of a freezing cold Bedouin tent to Merav screaming, “Mayanot 57, WAKE UP!” Quicker than we knew it we had already began our most eventful day yet on the trip. At 5:50 am we were already out in the desert riding ...

Day 5 - We Arrive in Jerusalem

Day 4 - Lower galili
This morning we woke up with a lot in store for us. After eating breakfast, we were off to hike Mount Arbel, which to say the least was incredible. We hiked doewn a cliff, saw ancient temple ruins from hundreds of years ago, and fit through narrow passageways, which was quite the accomplishment ...
