TRIP OVERVIEW

Join Finjan for a full moon hike along the wild Negev landscapes, illuminated by the bright moon, a majestic sunrise on the cliffs of Zinnim, and a refreshing morning swim in the deep cold water in the pool of Ein Akev.

The full moon hike will take us to the mysterious ruins of Islamic period town, an impressive view point over the valley of Zin, a huge acacia tree, and a short climb to a flint flattop hill overlooking the area (about 12km)

After few hours of rest over the cliffs of Zinnim, we will wake up early to watch the majestic sunrise over the cliffs, and descend down to the valley of Zin, where the jeeps will wait for us, and we will drive to Ein Akev through the amazing Zin desert landscapes.

We will finish the hike with a refreshing swim in the deep and cold water of Ein Akev: one of the best pools in the Negev.
