Trip to the Negev

This week we spent traveling the biblical and modern day Negev. We spent two of the nights in hostels and one night in a hotel. After visiting Beer Shevah and Arad, we traveled down to Gulf of Aquaba (Red Sea) and snorkeled at Elat. Wednesday we spent the day in the Timnah National Park hiking and touring a model of the Tabernacle. Early Friday morning we woke up and hiked Masada for a beautiful sunrise overlooking the Dead Sea and the Roman camps below. Our last stop for the trip was Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. It was an amazing trip! We did so much!
