TRIP OVERVIEW

Get your swimming costumes ready! We are heading to the deep canyons filled with endless watering-holes to cool off, not to mention plenty of challenging ascents, natural springs, huge cliffs and breathtaking landscapes with views towards the Dead Sea region. The Judean Desert has everything to offer at this time of year.

This month, the backpacking club will head to the mighty canyons of Nahal Ze’elim on a challenging trail for a weekend of serious hiking.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Two days, intense desert hiking (20KM plus/day) with everything on your back (tent, sleeping bag, food, etc). Bring you swimming costumes!

Sleeping under the desert stars – NO CELLULAR SIGNAL!!! Only the desert and your thoughts. Rough terrain!
