Do you find yourself dragging; craving a nap in the late afternoon? You\’re not alone. Soft coral beneath the waters near the southern Israeli resort city of Eilat does the same thing.
Visitors to Israel are often looking for a spiritual uplift, and one of the country\’s best-kept secrets for achieving that transcendent state is not found in Jerusalem\’s Old City. Perhaps it is the oxygen-rich air coupled with the high-concentration of relaxing bromide. Or maybe it\’s the lure of natural therapeutic essences in the surroundings of scenic beauty. Simply put, there is no better place to unwind and rejuvenate than in Ein Gedi country.
Tierra\’s setting in its bustling, mostly residential neighborhood is stylish coffeehouse; the food is inventive. One typical appetizer consisted of figs stuffed with mushrooms, macadamia nuts and chicken — flavored with cardamom, cinnamon and a Hindu date dressing (34 sheckels). Not all the entrees strain to be eccentric; there\’s \”grilled pullet and polenta\” for 58 sheckels and \”calamari paperdello\” for 54 sheckels. Some menu offerings are mouth watering; others more creative than tasty. But there\’s a full bar to wash everything down.
