Israel, officially the State of Israel, is
a country in Western Asia. It is situated on the southeastern shore of the
Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea, and shares borders
with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, and
Egypt to the southwest; it is also bordered by the Palestinian territories of
the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively. Tel Aviv
is the economic and technological center of the country, while its seat of
government is in its proclaimed capital of Jerusalem, although international
recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the city is limited.
Israel is surrounded by desert. The
dry land has become a promotional tool for their tourism with the motto 'a step
into the desert in Europe'. The desert area in the Negev has become a
tourist destination that has been promoted by the Israeli government recently.
There
are plenty of nature activities for the Negev to do, from biking to rock
climbing. Ramon Cliffs can also be visited. This natural tourist attraction
has a fascinating history and shape, similar to the Grand Canyon in the United
States which has often been reviewed in various tourist sites.
The
Negev does offer a rustic feel. But there is also a feeling of luxury that
tourists can feel through glamping (Glamorous Camping). In a special area,
tourists will spend the night in tents with facilities and services like a
five-star hotel. Hot showers and meals prepared by a personal chef are
some of the services offered.
The
Negev is a two-hour drive from Tel Aviv International Airport. You can go
to Negev via land transportation. The cost required depends on the reader,
whether you want to stay at a hotel or do Glamping activities which will
certainly increase your budget or will only stay with a homemade tent. In
addition, several countries do not have embassies in Israel and do not have
direct flights to Israel, therefore an additional budget is required to change
planes several times before arriving in Israel. Items that must be brought
are a portable fan and of course a tent if you want to enjoy camping in the
Negev.
What
you must do apart from walking around the desert is that you can hike the
12-kilometer Negev Highland Trail. In addition, you can see a clear starry
night sky if you stay at a camp or make a tent in this desert area. Therefore,
Asian Destination Readers should visit in the afternoon and evening so that
they can see the sunset like a desert-themed film and see the beauty of the
night.
Still
around the Negev area, Asian Destination Readers can also stop by the wineries
managed by local people. The plantation has been passed down from
generation to generation since 2,000 years ago. The garden produce is
processed by the wine company Carmey Avdat, which produces 5,000 bottles of
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay wines per year. As a companion
to wine, local people also produce cheese from milk. the goats they raise
next to the plantation.
