TRIP OVERVIEW

Another year has passed, and we will welcome the new one the ‘Finjan way’: hike, swim and drink great beer!
We will wake up early to catch the sunrise from the forgotten Herodian fortress of Kypros, with a breathtaking panoramic view of Jericho, Jordan and the Dead Sea Transform.
This ancient Hasmonean (Maccabean) palace delves deep into a past of intrigue that will put to shame any plot-line in game of thrones.
We will finish the visit with a scenic observation point hanging above St. George monastary hanging from the cliffs of Wadi Qelt.
Our next stop will be at Ein Mabua (Ein Fawar), a flowing karstic spring and great place for a refreshing morning swim.
After our morning swim we will visit the famous Taybeh Brewery – the first Palestinian-owned brewery – located in the ancient Christian village of Taybeh. The brewery produces a number of delicious beers and has a fascinating story to compliment the fine taste!
