ssam I'm Emmanuel kadosh 24 years old
and I host a travel TV show called
cruising Israel where I tour all over
the country showing tourists the best
sights to see there's actually no trip
to Israel without coming to visit the
Dead Sea the Negev desert the Negev
desert actually dominates about 60% of
the Israeli landscape so you can't
really miss it and then the Dead Sea is
the lowest place on earth so there's no
visit here without stopping there
shut up it's pretty chilly cuz it's
early in the morning here in the desert
we're about an hour drive from the Dead
Sea and we're about to go in a hot air
balloon to see the gorgeous sunrise here
in the desert sunrise is just something
special it's something that you'll never
you'll never experience something like
it other than right here in the desert
you can see it at the Israeli beaches
you can see it in Jerusalem but seeing
it in the Negev desert is just a
once-in-a-lifetime experience I am
currently on a hot-air balloon in the
middle of the Negev desert at sunrise
who would have thought you know waking
up early in the morning it's I think
it's like practicing and you know yoga
or religion or any thoughts on this
special thing that has to do with your
spirits no we're coming to Israel
without coming to the Negev desert it's
part of the experience you come to the
Dead Sea you should obviously come and
check out
and this is probably the most creative
and fun way to do it it's so peaceful
it's so quiet and you couldn't really
get to see the concept of how large the
Negev desert is comparison to the
landscaping
would you open small white wine just to
celebrate the landing coming back to
ground Thank You the Dead Sea is coming
you put the mud on you float a little
bit and especially after that air
balloon landing this is exactly what we
need to hop in and have a very black I'm
sure you guys have all seen that
advertisement for the Dead Sea where
you're reading a newspaper it's legit
and here I am
there's no visiting Israel without
visiting the Dead Sea it's known it's
the lowest place on earth the only place
that you can float on water the only
place that you can naturally get this
type of mud so yeah so it's a once in a
lifetime experience unless you live here
and it's an all the time in a life
experience but it's definitely worth it
and I must do on your trip to Israel
we're heading into the Bereshit hotel a
five-star oasis in the middle of the
Negev desert with unbeatable views of
the meets Pelham one crater can't wait
to get into a bathing suit and cool off
in the water
[Music]
if it weren't obvious already by this
insanely perfect view
there's no visiting the Negev desert
without the bellusci toto
this is it this is the oasis in the
middle of the desert so I just wrapped
up at the luxurious presidential suite
at the Bereshit hotel and now I'm going
to a more authentic desert experience
I'm meeting up with Steve from fiend
John he's here to pick me up we're gonna
go a little off-roading then we're gonna
go camel riding he's gonna show me some
views I'm beyond excited he's right over
there so let's go say hi
[Music]
leave thank you so much for picking me
up I want to know what you have in store
for me today I'm really interested to
see where we're going so we're gonna
head down to idols tent okay Idol is a
local Bedouin gentleman who still leads
kind of the typical Bedouin lifestyle
which is something that's very rare
what'd you find today in Israel and he's
gonna give us a wonderful experience go
for a ride on the rim of this beautiful
mustache or crater as you guys call it
and then maybe have a tea ceremony and
have a traditional Bedouin meal to
finish things off before we go to the
village I just want to stop on the way
so you can get a really good perspective
of where we are and see this really cool
geological phenomenon it only exists in
Israel
all right so this is Susie just named
her
the best part is when they stand up you
don't see things like this anywhere in
the world you just don't where can you
tell me that you could drive less than a
two hour drive from a crazy metropolitan
city to the middle of the desert at
sunset on a camel you can't you just
can't now we're going to have an
authentic Bedouin experience
pretty late at night here in the desert
but we are still excited to eat and I'm
joining this lovely man tonight I mean
you can't not look at his outfit and my
outfit and I think that you guys
transported back come on we both look
like nomads no all the food that the
better ones make here in the desert is
actually cooked underground he doesn't
trust money so we're switching
you don't trust mine you okay
[Music]
this is definitely the place to come to
for an authentic veteran experience they
show you how to pita bread they cook a
delicious homemade desert meal for you
they give you their you know traditional
teeth and they can tell you all about
their history after that delicious
Bedouin meal the best thing that you
guys could do is now here stargaze a
little bit because let me tell you you
cannot find stars like this anywhere
else in Israel
you
you
