Hi there,
This week, I've gathered a few ideas for Valentine's Day activities down South(Feb 14th for those who don't remember).
WHEN: Feb 14, 2022
Be'er Sheva Tourism Project I LOVE BASH with Culinary Couples Tours in the Renewed Urban Market of Be'er Sheva
The I LOVE BASH guides will take you on a special tour for Valentine's Day through the alleys of the municipal market in Be'er Sheva, seasoning stories of love and passion with actual tastings from the market. Hear the story of Abraham and Sarah and talk about the place of the market in the lives of the inhabitants. During the tour you will meet interesting couples, including Ida and Sasi who decided to leave their previous lives and open a Tunisian restaurant where the mythical "Sami and Susu" was. Meet Anand and Esther who came from India for a vacation in Israel and never left. Throughout the tour you will taste a variety of foods and spices including favorite pairs such as fish&chips, frena&arisa and chocolate&halva.
The tour also passes between the Bedouin stalls offering authentic goods from Hebron, the Georgian bakery, a chef's deli, the oldest fish shop in the market and more. Along with the tastings and couples stories, you will also get to know one of the only authentic markets left in the country that embodies the story of the multi-layered Israeli society and the story of Be'er Sheva as a city receiving emigrants from over 70 different diasporas. All of these are embodied in the smells, tastes and stories of the urban market traders.
The tours last 1.5-2 hours and cost 120 NIS per participant.
The number of participants is limited and must be booked in advance. The itinerary may vary depending on the duration. It is possible to hold kosher tours.
