Hiking Israel is an extraordinary experience that defies description. Beyond the indisputable beauty of its landscapes, its exquisite species of flora and fauna, and its rich diversity of animal life, there is an ethereal sense of the past coming alive. There is no place on earth that tugs at one’s heart and soul so profoundly and no paths as enthralling as the ones explored on this journey.
This tour takes a small group of women on a journey of a lifetime. The journey begins in the Judean desert, where you might climb a canyon along a riverbank and see a fish-filled river flowing below you, not far from where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. Or, you might enter a huge underground cave and wind your way through a tunnel only to emerge and discover gorgeous natural flowing springs.
One day, you will rise early to see the glowing sun rise at the peak of Masada, the ancient mountain fortress where sorrowful echoes lament the final cries of the Jewish martyrs who committed suicide there rather than admit defeat to their Roman conquerors.
Travel to the magnificent and golden city of Jerusalem and learn the secrets behind its walls and tunnels, and feel the city’s heart in its stones, churches, synagogues, and ancient history.
In the Golan Heights, take a heart-stirring hike rappelling through three waterfalls and then swim through five great pools of water to complete your journey. Climb atop a mountain and see some of the most magnificent views of the Sea of Galilee, near Magadala, the home of Mary Magdalene.
Not only will you hike, but you will experience life as it might have been in Abraham’s tent 3,000 years ago when you spend a night in a Bedouin tent, learning about the culture, partaking in a feast, and perhaps walking on a thrilling twilight hike by the light of the moon. On a camel caravan, ride through the desert to experience life as a nomad.
In a Druze village, partake in a feast, drink some soothing tea, and learn a bit about this mysterious and secret religion. Float in the Dead Sea and slather its thick mud on yourself, resulting in soft and silky skin.
Every day will be a new adventure.
Discover Israel and on the way, discover who you really are.
