Diane Sawyer of ABC’s Good Morning America takes EL AL to Israel.

Summertime is magic at
Sheraton Moriah Hotels

By TIM BOXER

SRAEL has its own magical kingdom (forget Florida – go to Israel) this summer. The eight hotels of the Sheraton Moriah chain have been turned into schools for magicians. Family vacationers are in for a bewitching experience with workshops, creative activities and the study of genuine magic.

Building on the worldwide interest that Harry Potter has stirred among children and adults alike in the magical world, the clever suits at Sheraton Moriah Israel have conjured a heady potion of entrancing delights.

From the moment you arrive at any of their hotels, you will become part of this spellbinding experience, supervised by one of the country’s leading magicians, Calistero.

Besides learning the art of magic, you will get a charming gift – a magic set and a book of instructions (so you don’t forget what you learned when you come home).

At the conclusion of the spellbinding course, a gala ceremony will be held where each graduate of this school for magicians will be awarded an Authorized Magician’s Certificate.

And you get to show off your wizardly skills as you perform in your own spectacular magic show!

So hop on your flying carpet and take wing to Israel, the enchanted land where everyone can become a magician – thanks to Sheraton Moriah Hotels.

Nina says I’m a great magician. My specialty is the disappearing act, the kind that even David Copperfield can’t do. Wherever I travel, I make my money disappear.

Sheraton Israel is friendly
to your diet on vacation

EOPLE are going to Israel no matter what the volatile situation with the Palestinian neighbors. Life is normal, business continues, and the hotels, although not as crowded as it should be this summer season, are still welcoming tourists with splendid activities.

If you choose to stay at the Sheraton Moriah in Eilat, prepare to really be pampered. The chef offers you his gastronomic creations, as always, but no need to worry. You can watch your weight at the same time.

Eat lots and lose much. That’s the theme here. How is that possible? Easy.

The highly creative chef offers a menu calculated according to the Weight Watchers point system. So you can enjoy your vacation and eat everything without putting on extra pounds. Smart, right?

The unique Weight Watchers point system enables you to continue your weight loss during vacation. Or you can start your diet program at the hotel.

Rafi Carmon, general manager of Sheraton Moriah Eilat, is proud that his hotel is the first to have thought of its guests in this way.

If you join any of 200 Weight Watchers branches while in Israel, Carmon will give you a NIS 300 reduction of your hotel bill. In addition, two free weekends-for-two at the hotel will be raffled each week for the new members. You have a better chance than with Lotto!
