DAY 7 (DAY 2 OF ISRAEL TOUR) – MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21: ARRIVAL IN TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, NETANYA
Arrival day for Israel finally came today for both groups. When we landed, the sun was bright, with temps in the upper 60s.
Ben Gurion Airport
Part of the group who did the Egypt optional trip flew from Cairo in the late morning. We arrived about noon here at the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Others flying from the States arrived around 2 p.m. We met Shlomo and Itai, our two Israeli guides for this trip, and our drivers, David and Abraham.
Jaffa/Netanya
All of us upon arrival were required to get the Covid Test at the airport. We then drove to our hotel (via Jaffa/Joppa, Jonah 1, Acts 9,10). The Tel Aviv coastline was beautiful! Both buses arrived at the hotel in Netanya. It is located north of Tel Aviv on the coastline of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. A light dinner was served in our rooms. We hope we all test “negative” so we can begin seeing sites. We are looking forward to our first full day here in Israel tomorrow.
“It is exciting to be in Israel today! Arriving at the airport and seeing Jaffa, the coastline of the Med Sea, and Tel Aviv on the way to our hotel offered a hint of what we are going to see the next week here!”
