A day In The Desert!

220 Staff

Today was an amazing day full of adventure in desert.  We started the day off early and boarded the bus for a drive down south.  After a long ride broken up by some fun bus games we arrived at the Bedouin village where we got to ride camels.  We then leaned about Bedouin culture and were served some traditional tea and coffee.  After leaning about their nomadic ways we were invited into the lunch tent for a delicious meal.  

We continued on to Masada where we hiked up the Roman ramp.  A tremendous team effort was clearly present.  Every single person made it up the mountain and learned about the great story that took place there.  Before moving on to the Dead Sea we took the tram car down the opposite side of the mountain. 

After a short drive we floated in the Dead Sea which was surprisingly cold, but who could resist.  We found out how quickly the sea is evaporating, it might not exist in 20 years. 

Our bus ride back to the hotel was full of great stories from the day, laughs, pictures and more. 

Stay tuned for more posts.
