Family Activity Near Jerusalem
Genesis Land offers a unique experience for the whole family. Travel out to the Genesis Land base camp in the Judean Desert. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking, with rolling desert mountains, sand, and dramatic cliffs.
Once at Genesis Land you’ll be greeted by Eliezer, Abraham’s manservant. The host really gets into character as the enthusiastic manservant. Not only is he in costume but the visitors are also given Bible-era clothes to put on so that you can really get into the mood. After you’re dressed up, Eliezer takes you to the camels!
Mount up and take a short camel ride down to Abraham’s tent. There you’ll enjoy some cool water, dates and maybe snacks. You’ll be entertained as the costumed hosts tell you about life back in Biblical times.
Other Things to Do in Genesis Land
There is a range of activities available including making pita bread, shepherding, and longer camel excursions. Genisis Land offers other activities and an overnight stay in Abraham’s tent for groups. If you want you can even get married or hold a bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah at Genesis Land Jerusalem.
I certainly will, Petal. Thanks a lot for the help!
I’m glad I could be of help Robert, and have a great trip. Contact me if you need any advice.
My wife and I have been making plans and itinerary for our Israel tour and naturally we also have our children in mind. Thanks so much for this post, Petal. We’ve been building up some children-friendly tour destination, and Genesis Land would make a good sidetrip. We already have an agency in mind. My family will surely be just as excited as I am.
