Crossing the Judean Desert to the Dead Sea

In this special hike, we will begin near the Judean Mountains and will cross through the Judean Desert all the way to the magnificent Dead Sea! We will start the hike around 11 pm or midnight ,and hike through the night, and we will watch the sunrise above the Dead Sea.  There is a good chance of spotting some nocturnal desert wildlife!
After watching the sunrise and taking a short rest, we will hike down into the famous Arugot Canyon which is part of the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve. We will enjoy the quiet time, early in the morning before all the visitors come and we will hike through the canyon until the parking lot of Ein Gedi Nature Reserve. The hike will finish around 10:00 AM.

Get ready to experience a hike that will surely be a memory that lasts a lifetime!
