Dubai Tour November 2022
We have been spending many wonderful Pesach Chagim vacations with Kosher Travelers and our experience at Ramat Rachel for Pesach 2019 was excellent. The location in Jerusalem was ideal for touring both north and south, of course, within the city. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with panoramic views of the hills of Jerusalem. The food was good and plentiful. The tefillot and learning sessions were excellent. The athletic facilities and pool were exceptional. Our children enjoyed the gym and pool very much and the family had an excellent Pesach.
As I hopefully told all of you personally, the highlight of our trip was to meet and get to know you all. Torah learning with you all was also an awesome highlight! Well done Kosher Travelers; Safe travels and many blessings, Debra and Denny
