Dear Parents,
I hope you are all well. After the special experience that the kids had in Masada yesterday, the tour continued today south, to a short hike in Nachal Chavarim and then Mitzpe Ramon. After Mitzpe Ramon, they started one of the most excited and challenging part of the program: Survival in the desert. This part of the program continue is continuing 24 hours and they will finish it tomorrow.
At 12:30 pm the group stated their 24 hours dedicated to explore the desert. The company "Tiyul Acher" ("another kind of trip", or a "different tour") provided the logistical services needed for the exciting task. This kind of trip provide an unique experience of the desert, placing emphasis on hiking, sleeping outdoors under the stars and enjoying the simplicity and the magnificence of the desert with as little to do with civilization as possible. The group enjoyed the beautiful landscapes in the day and a campfire and the stars at night.
As part of the unique experience of the desert, the group spend the night at "Borot lotz" under the stars.
Have a nice day,
Eyal Ankri
