Nahal Gishron

A FUN FAMILY ACTIVITY NEAR EILAT, EVERYBODY LOVES NAHAL GISHRON!

The southern part of the Eilat Mountains is a unique area where mountains of volcanic and sedimentary rocks meet. The landscape is bisected and carved by deep vast canyons that stretch out into the Arava and the ocean blue Eilat bay.

Essentially, this region is part of the spacious vastness of Sinai.

Nachal Gishron with Israel Extreme
NAHAL GISHRON IS ISRAEL'S SOUTHERN MOST CANYON THAT STRETCHES FROM THE EILAT MOUNTAINS TO THE BAY OF EILAT

Zig-zaging its way along the Egyptian-Israeli border we will see various types of rocks.

The Upper Gishron is a nice easy round route ( start and finish point is the same) that takes us along a dry riverbed past spectacular and intriguing canyons made of the colorful sandstone. Families can easily do the walk. Along the way we come to a beautiful dry waterfall which you can choose to rappel down, or walk around. Walking the whole canyon is more of a challenge and takes the whole day to complete.

"Love Love Love This experience was one of the highlights for our family with two teenagers. Dor was just awesome. The hike was very rigorous so that the natural spring felt perfect to cool off in. Then repelling off the bridge was great to top it off with. The whole family really enjoyed Israel Extreme and Dor was a perfect guide for us. Date of experience: May 2018"
