Nahal Gishron

A fun family activity near Eilat. Everyone will love NAHAL GISHRON!

The southern part of the Eilat Mountains is a unique area where volcanic and sedimentary rocks converge. The landscape is shaped by deep, expansive canyons that extend into the Arava and Eilat Bay

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

The Most Southern Canyon

Zig-zaging its way along the Egyptian-Israeli border, we will see a variety of rock types.

Stretching from the Eilat Mountains to the Bay of Eilat

The Upper Gishron is a pleasant, circular route (the start and finish point are the same) that takes us along a dry riverbed, passing by spectacular canyons formed from colorful sandstone.

Along the way, we’ll come across a stunning dry waterfall, where you can choose to rappel down or walk around. The challenge of walking through the entire canyon will take a full day to complete; however, the walk is easy for families to enjoy.

"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"
