It's quite a lovely city with a very suburban "feel" about it. We saw a variety of people, including many children. It seems to be nicely laid out, and there are many beautiful Arab-style houses, some painted in vivid colors. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures. Perhaps on our next visit!

A drive in Tuba-Zangariye
Yesterday, we had some time between classes, so we decided to take a short drive. Believe it or not, there's a city that we can see from our house but which we had never been to. Its a Bedouin town named Tuba-Zangariyye (actually, I think it was once 2 separate villages that have since grown together). It's located a short distance east of highway 90, the other side of the highway from Rosh Pinna. These Bedouins, although they are, of course, Muslims, have been allies of the Jews since the early days.

We drive that way quite a bit and that name has always intrigued me.
I learned it was a Bedouin village from the bio of one of the residents when they lit a torch at the Independence Day celebrations.
Must make a detour next time we drive past.
