Israel and the Sinai Desert (#117)

Justine's journey through the Holy Land begins in Tel Aviv where she joins in celebrating the start of Shabbat. Traditionally, Friday night would be spent with the family, but Justine finds there's a thriving club scene in Israel's capital. She heads north to the holy city of Safed, where she learns about Jewish mysticism and spends time working with other travelers on a kibbutz near the Golan Heights. In the Sinai desert, Justine buys bedouin veils in the market at Al-Arish. She ends her trip at Mount Sinai, revered as the place where God delivered the Ten Commandments to Moses.
