November in Israel

We started our road trip in Israel in the city of Eilat.

Eilat is a touristic city along the famous Red Sea. Israeli people often go there to enjoy the beaches there.

We were welcomed by the Fatal group hotels to relax in the lovely Herods Vitalis Hotel.

We arrived there after 5 hours travelling and were welcomed with a glass of Champagne. The guest relations manager showed us all the facilites of the hotel: restaurants, pools, spa, gym… and escort us to our beautiful Castle Suite.

This is the biggest suite of the hotel with an amazing 180° view of Eilat, Jordan and the left and Egypt on the right.

The hotel kindly offers us a wonderful welcome table with fruits platter, chocolate platter and a bottle of Champagne (again!)

It was 16.30, the perfect moment to enjoy an outstanding sunset while drinking our glass of champagne on our terrace …

In Israel, be sure to get at least 300 sunny days per year! It was amazing to enjoy the sun coming into our room when we woke up….

After a lazy morning we run to the restaurant for a perfect breakfast before enjoying the pool.

At Herods Vitalis we had a quiet private pool just for this part of the hotel.

At the end of the day we went to rent a car and drove a bit around Eilat. It is very easy and safe to drive in Israel.

We found an amazing spot next to Tina National Park to watch the sunset …

After our relaxing stay at Herods Vitalis we drove through the desert and headed to to Dead Sea.

What a crazy experience floating on the water!!!

The Dead sea is 10 times more salty than the ocean. The feeling is really strange, when your enter the water you can feel your calfs getting tight, then all your legs and suddenly you let you in and you’re floating!!!

Around the Dead sea the landscapes were completely unreal, it feels like you are on another planet with all the salt formations…(it looks nice but it was very painful to walk on! )
