My road trip through Israel

Jasmina Becker on 18 February 2018
Off to a new Jasmina adventure :)!!
Diving in the Red Sea - Eilat
At the highest point in the Negev, Mitzpe Ramon, on the cliffs of the magnificent Ramon Crater.
MItzpe Ramon - one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in
What a view!! We stayed 2 nights in this 5* Hotel and it was absolutely worth it.
Smother some of that mineral rich Dead Sea mud on and then float on your back in the warm, salty sea.
Floating in the Dead Sea is a must do on your list! Just lay back, relax and enjoy this natural phenomenon.
A quick stop at a prickly pear farm :)
Looking out over the Old City of Jerusalem from the east, the panorama from the top of the Mount of Olives is Jerusalem's most iconic view
The Western Wall in Jerusalem- the most religious site in the world for the Jewish people.
The Way of the Cross- It was incredible to walk the length of the Via Dolorosa seeing the different stations and experiencing the same narrow streets, bustling with trade, as Jesus did over 2000 years
Last but not least, my favourite red wine in Israel :D *similar to a Malbec
Our rented car
You probably never thought of visiting Israel! Well, this country has lots of great and unique things to offer!

Visit the holy city Jerusalem or relax at one of the stunning beaches of Tel Aviv. Experience diving in the Red Sea, swim with dolphins or float in the Dead Sea. It’s called the Dead Sea because no fish can survive in the salty waters. Which is also renowned for its unique salts that promote health and healing properties.

I spent one week with my best friend in Israel, driving from Eilat all the way up to Tel Aviv but we still did not manage to see everything, so we will definitely go back again.

Is it safe? I’m sure this is a top question on many people’s mind when they think about travelling to Israel. I felt very safe and didn’t have that “I am tourist and I stand out” feeling that I get in many places. I was very comfortable taking my camera everywhere we went.

Transport

Public transportation is pretty good in Israel, so you can easily visit most places by bus or train, although renting a car will make things far more convenient. The rail network is also pretty spectacular, although it mostly covers the northern half of the country, so if you want to travel south you will need to take a bus.

Flights

There are various direct flights between Europe and Israel, with most flights arriving in Tel Aviv but also in Eilat. I flew from Germany to Eilat, rented a car and drove all the way up to Tel Aviv with my best friend.
