Public transportation for the tourist public
It is a must for tourists in Israel to take a ride on a donkey or camel.
With lots of photos taken, of course.

The City Daily Photo group's Theme Day is about Public Transportation.

Speaking of camels, want a good laugh?
As part of a new publicity campaign, our Ministry of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs released three video clips gently mocking French, Spanish, and English reporters for their alleged assumptions about the Jewish state. The idea is to teach Israelis traveling abroad or meeting foreign visitors how to counter stereotypes and spread good PR.

Love it. Very different to our public transport.
ReplyDeleteThose videos are pretty wild. I wonder what the American video would be.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see something that made me smile. Thank you very much. Always a safe road ahead for you all. Please have a good new month and week as well.

Delightful photos!
ReplyDeleteNow these are unique forms of public transport.
ReplyDeleteI have ridden neither on a donkey, nor on a camel. But I have aspirations, Dina. I dream ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the videos, Dina. 3 words to say about them: GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME!
ReplyDeletewonderful public transportation
ReplyDeleteLove the post and the video. Interesting the camel video is spoken by an Englshman but that the solution is spoken by an American.
ReplyDeleteI'd choose the donkey over the camel any day. I did not like riding a camel at all.
ReplyDeleteLove the clips, the French one could be used for Italians either.
ReplyDeleteI skipped riding camels, horses and donkeys but took a lot of pictures of them. Quite often they wanted money for this...
:-)) The best I've seen so far today!
ReplyDeleteJesus rode a donkey, too! I guess donkey rides have been popular for a very long, long time in Jerusalem!
ReplyDeleteHa,ha...! So where's your camel, Dina? Great videos!
ReplyDeleteI've ridden on elephants and camels. Which is the most uncomfortable is a toss-up. Great photo to add variety to the theme day.
ReplyDeleteI rode a camel a short distance in the Gobi Desert, Inner Mongolia, but the day before I had bruised my tailbone riding a horse across a plain... so it was a rather painful experience, sitting sideways on my thigh! :-D I watched the video and enjoyed seeing the white camel, but my audio card is not functioning, so I did not hear it. Good post for the transportation theme... Hah! I thought it was tram post...
ReplyDeleteNow this is a unique theme day post! Love it. Just as I love the goofy face of the camel. ;)
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Here even horse carriages have become a rarity.
ReplyDeleteVery cool entry, Dina, although I always feel sorry for the poor donkeys... :-)
