Today started out at a nice pace. We took a walking tour of Ramla. It helped us learn the neighborhood and navigate by foot. Our first destination was the White Mosque. With ancient history, the White Mosque has been a landmark in Ramla for many years. After the earthquake that stuck Ramla, the city moved inland, causing the White Mosque to actually sit just outside city lines. What currently stands today of the White Mosque is just a recreation, as the original did not survive.

To complete the tour, we visited an old cistern, which we were allowed to go down into the cistern and take some boats out and row. It was kind of corny, but cool at the same time. We ended our tour at the shuk. The Ramla shuk is known as the largest in Israel, has everything imaginable, really cheap. On Wednesdays, they set up a second shuk with vendors from around the country.

Shuk: a flea market of sorts, primarily fresh food and household goods.
