They are wind, fire and water resistant to a large extent and are extremely durable, making them perfect living quarters for nomads. In the winter, the Bedouins keep warm by building a fire inside these tents, while in the summer they are kept cool in the shade of the tent and the cool breeze that flows through them. The setup comprises low tables and floor seating, where the ground will be swathed with rugs and mattresses. The tables are fully set up for lunch, in a way that maintains an Arabian look and feel. Candles dot the tables in decorative shimmers of light. Lunch will be a local BBQ where the food (typically a whole lamb) is cooked for three hours in a clay lined pit full of coals (which were created from burning wood for hours before the food is placed in to heat the walls of the pit).

Dinner Option  Event: Elegant Private Gala Dinner at the Villa Dallal in Neve Zedek.  Neve Tzedek may well be one of Tel Aviv’s oldest districts, but its still young at heart! It has become increasingly fashionable in recent years, as restoration works have taken place to restore it to its former glory. Built in 1887, Neve Tzedek was the first Jewish neighborhood outside of the old port city of Jaffa, built as a suburb. Its Oriental architectural style, combined with quaint, narrow streets with boutiques, make Neve Tzedek, which means Oasis of Justice, quite literally an oasis in the modern city. The Dallal Cuisine is based on local fresh produce, influenced by its Neve-Tzedek location - between Jaffa and the Mediterranean Sea, characterized by Mediterranean tastes from the kitchen of Chef Golan Garfunkel. The interior design of Dallal restores the spirit of an era in which rich traders who wanted to live outside of clustered Jaffa, lived in Neve-Tzedek. Entertainment during the evening – Israeli Folklore dancers, Acrobat and Fire show, DJ with music.

An evening with Jamen – a local Israeli group of musicians who have developed an incredible style of drumming, sound and music. 5 drums are arranged in a circle on rugs. The shofar and drum beat invites everybody to sit by the drums, and then, the fun begins! For about an hour, everyone plays the drums, our professional drummers will teach the basics of drumming and some basic grooves.
