Erez 4/4 to coast via Gaza City

This episode takes you along the 25 minute journey from the Erez 4/4 to Gaza City. The route begins on Salah El Din Street - the main road that bisects the strip from north to south (technically, northwest to southeast). As you'll see, this upper part of the highway is not well-paved, but soon will been. Qatar has been funding the modernization of this road, beginning from the southern Rafah Crossing. It is about 3/4 complete now - from Rafah to Nezarim. You'll ride on the road often in later episodes. Qatar has also funded re-doing the Beach Road on the coast. As you'll see later, it is also nearly complete.

The route continues on various streets into Gaza City proper, ending up at the sea. This is still the same dusty day as the crossing through Erez. It gets much better for the rest of the days. I'll shift to landscape view from now on.
