Most of the day we have been traveling from Jerusalem to Eilat.
We stopped in Qumran to see where the Dead Sea scroll’s were found.
We also drove past the Dead Sea.
For lunch we stopped at what would be called along the Ohio turnpike a service center. We choose McDonald’s. I had the McWings and they were delicious! They were real chicken wings with a fantastic breading.
For the most part, we drove through a desert. Not the sand dunes type , but mountains, rock, and dirt.
5pm: Checked into the Crowne Plaza hotel in Eilat. It is a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the Red Sea.
