Media personality Martha Stewart arrived in Israel last Thursday for a trip funded by the Tourism Ministry, and has been tweeting her way around the country.
Stewart's travel itinerary includes trips to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, the Galilee, Masada, and the Dead Sea. She is expected to support the Dead Sea's candidacy to win in the international New 7 Wonders of Nature competition.
Stewart has been posting tweets about her adventures in Israel, such as eating dinner at the market in Jerusalem, attending a Shabbat meal for 160 guests, and visiting a dairy farm with "award winning cheese."
"Don't get excited. I am on a serious tour of ancient history. No more. No less," she jokingly posted on Sunday afternoon.
She also posted a photo of "giant medjool dates," which she said were "served with excellent cappuccino on the road from Tiberius to Jerusalem" on Sunday afternoon.

Veteran Australian soft rock duo Air Supply will arrive in Israel in September for a series of concerts, following the success of its previous visit to the Holy Land three years ago.
The upcoming visit will be part of the band's world tour.
The band, consisting of Graham Russell as guitarist and singer-songwriter and Russell Hitchcock as lead vocalist, began its career in 1975 and is still recording and performing across the world to this very day.
The duo was most successful in the 1980s, with top 10 hits such as "Making Love out of Nothing at All", "The One That You Love" and "All Out of Love".
Russell and Hitchcock are still very active: They have been performing all around the world, and in May 2010 they released an album with 14 new songs. In 2008, they reached the 83rd place on Billboard magazine's 100 all-time top bands list.
Air Supply will perform at the Raanana Park Amphitheater, the Kiryat Motzkin Amphitheater, Sultan's Pool in Jerusalem and the Cultural Hall in Beersheba.
