Nahal Rahaf

A beautiful canyon in the southern Judean Desert, Nahal Rahaf is one of the deepest and narrowest canyons in the country. On the way into the canyon we will see magnificent views of the Dead Sea, Jordan, and the Judean desert.

Once we enter the canyon, we will go through narrow passages, climb down ladders, and encounter pools that we need to swim across to reach two very high waterfalls. The only way to pass them is to rappel off the towering rock ledges into pools of water far below.

We will see many small animals, birds, and possibly even deer that come to drink from the water that fills the canyon after it rains. This canyon adventure is Fun Fun Fun!

"Nachal Rachaf canyoning and hiking Fantastic day with a really experienced guide This is classed as one of their 'extreme' days! We were challenged, but also had really good fun in a beautiful setting by the Dead Sea. Quality guide, excellent equipment. Both the guide and the company were really good to communicate with. I would certainly do other tours with them. They have a very varied selection of experiences and they all look worth it - give them a go!! Date of experience: November 2018"

"Israel Extreme - Highly recommended! We recently spent two amazing days organized by Israel Extreme. We visited the Salt Wonder where we rappelled 80 feet down the most beautiful salt cave I have ever seen. Then we worked our way out exploring the cave. The second day we explored the canyon called Nachal Rahav... next to Masada. We rappelled down the rocks 6 times. We felt extremely safe by the professionalism our guides demonstrated. I highly recommend exploring Israel with Israel Extreme. Pack plenty of water and snacks. These activities will last for a minimum of 6 hours depending on the size of the group. Date of experience: April 2018"

"One of a "KIND" experience! We spent 2 days with the Israel Extreme folks this past week (Dalak, Yehuda were our tour guides). We visited the Salt Water Cave and the Nachal Rachaf. We were a group of 18 people, ages ranging from 6 to 50. Dalak and Yehuda were fantastic with their explanations on the region, answering all the curious 6 and 9 year old questions and making sure we were all safe during the activities. Highly recommend them .... and are considering asking them to help us plan future bar mitzvah trip events! Date of experience: April 2018"

"Abirim Cave and Nachal Rachaf Most awesome adventures! My sixteen year old daughter is studing ay Alex Muss High School is was off for the week of Passover. Wanted to plan some really out-of-this-world day trips for her that would add to her Israel experience. ...and Israel Extreme delivered! Guides were well prepared, on the biology, ecology, training and personality. Our second guide actually summited El Capitan in Yosemite! Definitely a must do if you want an experience of a lifetime!"
