※ This video is part of <World Theme Travel - Unfamiliar Pleasure, Israel Winter Travel 1-4> broadcast from January 22 to 25, 2018. Israel has diverse terrain, from dry wilderness and emerald Mediterranean to swamps where winter migratory birds rest and the Dead Sea, the lowest sea level in the world! Israel is visited by millions of pilgrims every year, but to travelers, it is a somewhat unfamiliar and special place of nature and history. We meet the ancient people who lived in Israel in the past and various Israelis living in the present. We go out to find hidden aspects of Israel as it welcomes the warm winter. - Bethlehem and Battir, two villages, contain stories of the lives of Palestinians coexisting with Israel. We experience the simple and leisurely lives of the residents of Bethlehem and discover the secrets of the terraced village that has been around for 2,000 years in Battir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The vast, desolate Judean Plain stretching across Israel and Jordan, with wadis formed by rainwater and endless hills rising over 800 meters above sea level, forms a unique terrain that is hard to find even in Israel. We hear stories of the Jews and Romans in Masada, an ancient fortress that has stood alone in the wilderness for thousands of years. - A place with lush forests and flowing water that is hard to find in a barren desert. Let's go to En Gedi Oasis. In En Gedi, a place that serves as a shelter for travelers in a dry and arid desert climate, we take a break from our tiring journey and heal. The Dead Sea, known as the lake of death in front of En Gedi! It has been famous as a popular tourist destination for people all over the world because of its high salinity, which makes you float when you dip your body in it. We learn about the recent sinkhole phenomenon in the Dead Sea, a salt lake where no life lives, and check out the ever-changing landscape of the Dead Sea. - On the way to Nazareth, the hometown of Jesus Christ, we go on a time travel to see the caves and underground city of 'Beit Guvrin', which means 'city of the free' in Hebrew, and the formations that have formed over thousands of years. A carpenter from Nazareth, the hometown of Jesus Christ, who has been working in the same place for 55 years, including his grandfather, father, and himself. We listen to the carpenter's story about life in Nazareth. - Jerusalem, the holy land of the three major religions, a must-see. In the 2,000-year-old traditional market of Cardo, we visit a 400-year-old spice house and taste kebabs that have been passed down for 100 years. The 2,000km-long spice road from Yemen through the Arabian Desert to the Gaza Strip. We set out to find the Israeli spice road that starts in Moa. The long incense road, the Nabatean Station that provided stability and peace to merchants, shows traces of the past of the Nabateans, and the current life of Bedouins who left the modern city and live in the desert, can be seen in the Negev Desert. On the way to the southernmost part of Israel from the Negev Desert, along the rough wasteland, you can see the Timna Valley National Park with its uniquely shaped rock formations and colorful wadis. You can appreciate the mystery of Mother Nature at the world's oldest copper mine where the Egyptians mined copper and the Red Canyon of the National Park. - The first stop on the journey of seeing Israel from the past to the present is Galilee, a Christian holy place that has been visited by many tourists for thousands of years. You will hear the stories of fishermen who have been fishing in the Sea of Galilee for many years and continue a special relationship there. Beth Shean, which served as a bridgehead between Africa and Europe, is the destination of the second journey. This is an ancient Roman site in Israel where traces of the ancient Romans remain intact. On the second journey, we will see how the Romans lived in the past. We will go beyond Beth Shean and head to the northernmost part of Israel. In Metulah, the northernmost city of Israel, and the Golan Heights, a terrain created by volcanoes, we will see the untouched nature and the situation of modern Israel that can only be seen in the border area. ✔ Program name: World Theme Travel - Unfamiliar Pleasure, Israel Winter Travel Part 1-4 ✔ Broadcast date: 2018.01.22-25 #GoladenDocumentary #WorldThemeTravel #Travel #WorldTravel #Religion #Christianity #Israel #Palestine #MiddleEast #Bible 00:00:00 Israel and Palestine, the land where Jews and Romans coexist 00:30:30 Nazareth, the hometown of Jesus Christ and Jerusalem, the holy land of the three major religions 00:53:17 2,000km Incense Road, Negev Desert 01:10:25 Fishermen of the Sea of Galilee 01:25:22 Golan Heights, the northernmost border area of Israel
