Bordering the Great Rift Valley and sandwiched between Africa, Europe, & Asia, Israel is not only the crossroads of history but is a land bridge for plant and animal life; every year millions of birds migrate over Israel.

Israel’s mountainous landscape is crisscrossed by narrow canyons and gorges that are easily accessed for great hiking and nature: Waterfalls, natural pools that you can swim in, unusual rock formations, rich plant and animal life.

Camping out
If you enjoy campfires and sleeping under the stars, the Negev Highlands is a wonderful setting. We may even sight some ibex, gazelles, and foxes! Make a camel trek or jeep safari. Another option is to camp at a regional park by the Mediterranean, listen to the lapping of the waves at night, and take an early morning walk along the seashore – to discover this unique habitat.
