Shalom!
I am happy to report that at 10.45 am local time, the whole group has cleared Israeli customs easily.
Praise God! Hallelujah!
Uncle Chris and I are in the promise land.
We have departed from Egypt, the Law, the World, into Israel, Grace.
Amen!
Woah we are in the israeli Red Sea Aqaba resort port of Eilat.
Beautiful azure waters framed by amber brown mountains.
This is my easiest clearing of Israeli immigration to date. No 'pasar malams' at all.

The resort is situated on the shores of Aqaba arm of the Red Sea. Shortly after this, we headed for Israel and left Egypt.]

Shalom. Shalom.
