Today we ‘wander’ into the Negev Desert, which extends over Israel’s southern region, and accounts for over half of Israel’s land area.  The Negev has become one of Israel’s popular tourism sites, as Abraham built his home in Be'er Sheva, and the Nabateans passed through here on caravans of camels laden with precious trade goods establishing a trade route known as the “Spice Road.”

We will visit the Masada fortress, which stands beside the Dead Sea known the ‘Salt Sea’ bordering Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west.  Masada is one of Israel’s most important archaeological sites, which has one of the greatest tales of Jewish heroism.

Here in Northern Israel, we visit historical sights at and near the Sea of Galilee located in the Jordan, and learn of the fascinating history that passed through this pear-shaped sea.   The pleasant climate, level topography, fertile soil, and relatively abundant water, and the rivers flowing into the lake and the adjacent plains have throughout history been the source of livelihood for various peoples and has facilitated the cultivation of bananas, dates, citrus fruit, and vegetables.

Our group will explore Nazareth religious sights and spice shops, and Arab sweet shops, and then enjoy dinner reflecting the epitome of Middle Eastern cuisine.
