Khan Be'erotayim - Beduin camp

In the south of Israel is a Benduin camp called Khan Be'erotayim it is placed out in the desert and we had one night there with our two kids, and that was a different experience that one should try. Here I will describe how it was.


The place has a nice homepage, where you can find contact information: http://www.beerotayim.co.il/english.htm#The

Here is a video from the place: http://youtu.be/Xb1mfiur-ks

Here are some of the pictures I took:

This is where the food is served, one sits on the floor and eat, each family gets thier own table and the food is delicius.

Look how good the food looks, and the taste was really good

This is taken at the back side of the buildings, you have the nice view to the desert

The breakfast was served as a bufet, and there where not missing anything

The central place where all the guest and visitors relax, talk and drink tea og coffee

It is possible to go for a camel ride from the camp

On the camel ride tour we stopped at a place with these signs that are from, before christ

The view from the bathrooms, there were hot water for the showers, and a great view

The coffee and tea unlimited :-)

Caesarea, Israel

Caesarea is an ancient, well kept ruin that was built by King Herod sometimes between 22 and 10 BC, after King herod died it became the local roman capital. and Pontius pilate lived here from AD 26 to AD 36.
In AD 640 the Arabs took over the city and held it until AD 1101 were it was taken over by the crusaders. In 1261 King Louis IX of france took over the city, but lost the city to Mamluk sultan Beybars, who destroyed the city, and it was a ruin for more than 600 years.
In 1878 a group of refugees from bosnia moved in and was living there until 1948.
It is a great place if you have kids because the can run around, and there is plenty of space. the picture below is the ocean view from the place

There are plenty of oppotunities to find mosaic when you walk around.

Some more beautiful mosaic, that you can find many places around in caesarea

The following pictures are from the outer wall, that surrounds the "city"

mahane yehuda market, jerusalem, Israel

I love markets, and I always try to visit the local one when I visit a place, just by luck I dropped into the mahane yehuda market in Jerusalem, and that is a colour full tour, there one can buy all kinds off food, fruits, coffee, cakes, and many other things, it is not one of thoose turist traps where things are made for the turist, this is where the locals go for a coffe, eating or shopping.
When you walk through the market there are plenty of shops offering you to taste, and you should, because in this way you get surprise and mayby you taste something you haven't before.
I visited the market whith my family (wife and our two kids) and enjoyid a couple of hours there, we had a coffe and some cakes in a small shop.

The coffe and cake shop

Even that they don't understand english very well, ther eis no problem in pointing and showing whith your fingers how many cakes, fruits or whatever you want, they take the time you need to buy what you want.

Even if you don't want to buy anything, you should go, and just feel the atmosphere, here you can see a couple of pictures I took when we were there.

The market is most busy on fridays, and has more than 250 small shops, and you can read more about the history of the palce, and the sorrounding here at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahane_Yehuda_Market

And here is a video that show the place:

Have a nice travel
