2 days not touring Israel
 
Hi all
We're going to Israel for a cousin's wedding and have already covered all of the touring things and have 2 free days. Any suggestions? Pretty much any region is fine.
The players are myself (26/F) and my parents in their lower 50s. We're all pretty active so hiking or something more exciting like rappelling or water things are also great.
Thanks for all your help!

Have you been to Petra in Jordan? It is an easy day trip from Eilat. Can probably do it from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem too. It is amazing!

Sorry I suppose I confused with that "any region" part.
We have to stay in Israel (parental rule apparently) but yes I've already been to Petra
Thanks though!

"have already covered all the touring things" ?

Apparently not! What are you doing and where?

How far north are you going and where? or how far south? Are you spending any time in Eilat, in the Negev, other? Do you have rental car or want a guide/tour company to arrange?

Then someone can suggest!

There's also nothing wrong with simply relaxing in/around Jerusalem or Tel Aviv depending on where you'll be based.

January? August? Makes a difference.

Sorry again!
Apparently I'm not good at making these clear! :(
I didn't mean on this trip we've covered all touring things I meant over years. When we were young we rented an apt for 2 months and had guides etc and I've been on numerous other group trips.
The trip is end of August
So yea we've been through it all and also have family in most of these places.
Was just curious if someone had an idea off the beaten track.
Thanks

Oh and yes we have a car
Thanks again!
