Camel milk farm, southern Israel

This was taken in 2000 at Reuven Agil's Camel Farm. It is near Eilat on the main road from the Dead Sea to Eilat.
Reuven has put much study into the use and nutritional values of CAMEL MILK, yes Camel milk. When there you can purchase milk and especially ICE CREAM. The ice cream is great, but you should try all the flavors.

Dead Sea from Maale Yair, Negev, Israel

This is a portion of the Dead Sea as seen from the lookout point 150 meters above. The Dead Sea is about 400 meters BELOW sea level. The color of the water, is a fantastic aquamarine that you will only see in a few places like the Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA. It has such a high content of salt and other minerals that when you get into the water you can literally "sit" and read a newspaper, you are very bouyant. But be careful and don't drink any of the water, it is very oily.
