Getting there
MONDAY, MAY 17TH
Arriving in Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv, Israel
We arrive in Israel on May 17th, and we will sleep in Tel Aviv for one night at the Sheraton Tel Aviv to rest up before departing for the desert the next morning. Good to know: we will reserve a room block at the Sheraton Tel Aviv, but please feel free to stay anywhere in Tel Aviv that is most convenient for you. For those who arrive prior to dinner time (~6:30 pm), please join us for a casual (roll off the plane in sweats, casual) dinner in Tel Aviv by the beach (details to follow following your RSVP). We will leave for the desert the next morning.
