Eilat – tourist paradise

Entering Eilat we felt as if we were driving in Las Vegas. All the hotels seemed to be built in a similar style. In the city we could find many stalls, where we bought beautiful souvenirs, cosmetics from the Dead Sea and local delicacies. Walking on the promenade, we were getting past a lot of international shops, local bazaars and great restaurants. Going on, behind the promenade we saw a campsite and then we reached the border with Jordan. Unfortunately the gateway was closed, so we have just seen a big fence.

Afterwards we went to the beach. Everyone was shocked by the fantastic view. It looked like the Bahamas or another luxurious place for holidays. The beach made a big impression on us, because there were many palm trees and the water was very clean.

But it wasn’t a perfect place, because the sand was like gravel, so we didn’t like it.

Water was warm enough to swim, so almost everyone was bathing and having fun.

We spent most of the day on the beach and did the shopping in the meantime.

Getting a tan all day long would be boring, so we went to a pleasure cruise. During the passage we saw lovely dolphins. It was a great experience. Then we sailed to the center of the Gulf of Aqaba to swim. By the way we had a beautiful views of Eilat and surrounding areas. The ship was equipped with a large slide and rafts. Everyone could get life vests, so it was safe. People were admiring underwater sights and even jumped into the water from upper deck. On the cruise liner loud music was played, so a lot of people were dancing. It was so hot, but we could chill with cold drinks. It was a great adventure and we are grateful to have taken part in.

Kibbutz EIN HAROD

The day in Kibbutz What is Kibbutz? How does it look like? Every student imagined the place differently. Before coming to Israel we had a lesson with our teacher of history. He told us some information about the landmarks, historical places and unusual sights in Israel which we are going to visit. One of them was Kibbutz. Many Jews who came to Israel after the II WW they did not have any place to live. They set up their small communities. They resemble tiny towns or villages with amenities such as a hospital, a shop, a bank, a canteen, laundry, a diary. They even grow vegetables and keep farm animals. They are like one big family. The first kibbutz - Deganja - founded in 1910, is located near the Lake of Tiberias in Galilee. Another well-known one named “Ghetto fightery,” was created in 1949 by Jews who had survived in Ghetto Uprising in Warsaw. The kibbutz our group visited was Ein Harod. We met there a mother-in-law of Mr Kfir (teacher from Israel)- ...
