March – December 2017
First we will visit Tzipori. The sophisticated ancient northern city is the site of one of Israel’s most interesting archeological sites. It has wonderful mosaics that tell a story of life nearly 2,000 years ago.
The we shall visit the amazing Agamon Hula. You may have visited before but we are taking a special tour as the birds come home to roost. We will start with a tour around the lake in our bus and then board the ‘Safari Wagon’ for a very close encounter with the birds. This tour will be at dusk and they tell us it is just a splendid sight to see all the birds coming down for some rest and sleep.

Orot Rabin is a coal-fired power station situated on the coast in Hadera. It is owned and operated by the Israel Electric Corporation. It has been operating since 1981. It is now Israel’s largest power station.

The Israel Guide Dog Centre is on Moshav Bet Oved.
The center is a member of the International Guide Dog Federation and is considered a pioneer in new innovative training methods. It is the only certified guide dog school in the Middle East. At two months the puppies are given to puppy raisers who raise them with love and dedication and expose them to the environment. At the age of one year the dogs return to the center, where they undergo six months of training during which they learn to avoid obstacles, stop at every curb, travel on public transport, and other necessary skills. Only the best dogs complete the training course, and are then paired with a blind person.
Join us for a visit to see the dogs and the work they do at the Centre.
