Israel is a lively country full of tourists not full of terrorists as depicted in TV news

This was the star of the cruise but we were very disappointed because the people are very rude. We took the cruise for the reason to visit the holy land but the impoliteness of the Israelis soldiers and the long wait at the check points spoiled it. Our visit to Old Jerusalem and Natherth were very good and the people there were very nice

We had an overnight in Haifa after a port change from Ashdod. We were grateful for the change, as it allowed us to visit the Bah'AI Gardens and Shrine of the Bab. We used the Carmelit to get to the top at under 6 shekels each and save our legs (and my lungs!) The Gardens and the Shrine were stunning and you really can see from the top why Haifa is known as the San Francisco of the Middle East. We were also able to take an excursion to Jerusalem on our first day in port, but to be honest (despite not being Bah'AI) I found the gardens at Haifa a much more peaceful and spiritual experience, feeling less like a tourist being herded around. An experience I will treasure.

Its worth staying in town and enjoyings its feel and atmosphere. There is duty free hear.

We went to Bethlehem which was amazing. A bit too touristy for our liking but still good to see. Saw lots of churches etc. Beware taken to a souvenir shop and kept there for 45 minutes. Mostly a lot of expensive rubbish
