Jericho 252m Below Sea Level
At the bottom of the Cable Car we brought freshly squeezed fruit juice. These freshly squeezed Fruit Juice stalls are all over Israel and here in Jericho. Here in Jericho it is a lot cheaper. This is a tourist place and the Palestinians we met were very friendly.
On the way out of town we stopped at a local stall. At first we were looked at with suspicion but were eventually served. We discovered that everything seems to be much cheaper here in Palestine than in Israel, the food, grocery items, the cold drinks. For example. A 2l Coke in Israel cost about NIS14, here in Jericho it was NIS5.
However, when you are away from the tourist spots, the mood is very different - defiantly no smiles or friendly greetings and a somewhat uneasy feeling. We got what we wanted and left!
