Or perhaps its nestling down in the rocky landscapes in a Bedouin-style tent listening to campfire tales or the feeling of floating weightless in the waters of the Dead Sea that will leave you in breathless awe. In times like these, solo travel comes alive. The rush of standing in an isolated unfamiliar land worlds away from the security of home, especially as a female, gives a sense

Rise 700 metres above the sea, to the spot where Moses is said to have gazed upon the promised land and stand in awe as you look out across the expansive horizon, taking in panoramic views of the River Jordan snaking its way through this otherworldly land.

It was certainly one of the most memorable nights of the whole trip and I would jump at the chance to experience it all again.”
