Top 10 Tourist Sites To Visit In Israel
« on: June 02, 2013, 09:25:41 AM »
My doctor (Jewish, not Observant) is going to Israel soon.
I told him I will compile a list of tourist sites.

He is about 60, so I doubt he will be doing hikes, long road trips.

Where do you recomend?

The blind was definitely cooler, but the deaf was an amazing experience too in its own way. I would say they were 2 very different kinds of experiences and time permitting you should try both.

+1 Did both. Actually enjoyed the deaf better. maybe because the guide was hilarious.

So was ours, I wonder if we had the same one or do most of them have a good sense of humor.

Not for kids IMHO, at least the blind one, they will be very scared. (I wasn't by the deaf one)
