We are here today because our Egypt ports have been canceled. Which we don't really care because we have seen the Egypt ports and we have not been to Israel.
Ashdod is a bustling port city that lies halfway between Gaza and Tel Aviv and is Israel's largest port. This city has a long history dating as far back as the 17th century BC. It was not incorporated as a city until 1968. Modern day Ashdod was developed on the sand hills surrounding the port and has a distinctly diverse population. For a great view of this vibrant port city you must climb to the top of Jonah's hill which is the site of the tomb of the ancient prophet. From here to can see a very modern city. Lots of history here. Ashdod serves as a port city for Jerusalem and the abundant sites the ancient city has to offer. It also offers access to many important religious sites the ancient city has to offer.
