Ein Gedi Travel Blogs, Travelogues and Travel Journals

The journey to Israel appealed to me for reason far less pious than I, sometimes, am willing to concede. Most simply: I went to reunite with a dear friend who had, by equal parts choice and chance, settled there. After eight years apart from her, I took the plunge. And it was, rewarding beyond measure, to our friendship, and,to me as Christian.

Woke up from the sound and feeling of 5 flies hovering around my head just to realize that it's 6am and that evreyone else around me where suffering from flies. It's funny to watch people trying to sleep while using their hands to hush the flies away. I watched the sky and saw the sun is going to be up soon. So I took my camera and sat next to the water waiting for the sunrise over the Red Mountains of Jordan. The dead sea is actually the border between Israel and Jordan (at that area) and on…

I had my my last Ulpan course this week and my final exam so I now have a bit of down time before the semester starts up. The Hebrew course was a lot to handle at times, but I am glad that I was able to participate in it... my hebrew has definitely drastically improved (which isn't too surprising considering I couldn't spell my own name before... ha). After the last exam my friend Zoe and I decided to take a camping trip to the Dead Sea and Ein Gedi. After getting to Tel Aviv we had to hop…

I lived in Israel for 16 year and traveld alot there. It's my favorite country in the world, it's beautiful and unique.

Imagine you're in the middle of a dessert, it's hot and there's no vegetation anywhere and suddenly between some rocks there's a beautifull green place with a waterfall. It's magical. It's called Ein Gedi. A beautifull place in the middle of the Judean dessert, Israel. It's a place worth looking for.

I took a trip round the world when i finished my studies. Looks like the bug that bit was there to stay.

hello ladies/men Here are some photo's of a beautiful country and I did fall in love with it and so I go back next year

I went with my daughter to Israel in Oct 2007 for an exceptional tour in the Holy Lands. It was the most fascinating experience to actually see where the Bible comes.

De bus liet niet al te lang op zich wachten, dus al gauw waren we op weg naar het strandje van Ein Gedi. Al gauw liepen we naar de Dode Zee om eens even heerlijk te dobberen. Het blijft toch maar een gek idee om zo te drijven zonder dat je naar beneden zakt. Uit het water gekomen namen we snel een douche en lagen we in de zon te drogen. Om een uur of drie stapten we weer op en gingen we naar het hiernaast gelegen natuurreservaat. Héérlijk die watervallen, waar je onder kunt gaan staan. Op…

Onze volgende stop was weer terug naar Ein Gedi maar deze keer naar de watervallen die David Falls worden genoemd. We hebben hier heerlijk even in het water gestaan en daar fristen we weer heerlijk van op. Het enige nadeel was, je moest weer een heel eind terug lopen naar de bus dus daar kwamen we weer bezweet aan. Maar ja, het is nu eenmaal vakantie dus wat maakt dat uit.

Met een nieuw gezelschap begonnen we aan het volgende deel van onze reis. Al heel vroeg ging het op pad (echt heel vroeg hoor want we werden al om 6.45 uur opgehaald) richting Ein Gedi. Hier werd nog een tweede ontbijt genuttigd voor de liefhebbers voor we verder richting het zuiden gingen.

My visit back home was very hot... I now remember why I always travel to Europe in the summer :) but it was great seeing everybody and showing my boyfriend around- it was his first time in Israel.

Shalom. I thought I'd drop a few pictures of my recent trip to Israel with my mom. We spent about 10 days traveling around the country. I must admit Israel wasn't in my top 10 list of places to visit until my mom mentioned she wanted to go. I (almost) never say no when offered to chance to visit some far away place.
