Sample Trips
Northern Judean Desert

Our adventure starts in Mishor Adumim, jeeping along our trail southbound towards Har Montar. This mountain is famous from the days that the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was standing. From this mountain, the sa'ir le'azazel was sent forth every Yom Kippur. We continue our journey to the Marsava Convent, which dates back to 500 BCE, and is still used today by the Greek Orthodox community. Our journey then takes us eastward through the Horcania Valley. We come to a breathtaking lookout over the Dead Sea. We continue northbound to reach our final stop at Almog, from which we make our ascent back to Jerusalem along the main roads.

Sample Trips
Central Judean Desert

Our day trip gets underway at the Dragot Resorts. We will journey south through Nachal T'koa. Our outing continues with us weaving through
Nachal Hatsotson until we reach Rujum Anaka, an old British
Police Station that dates back to the British Mandate. Our trip brings us next to a lookout over Nachal Arugot (Ein Gedi), famous for the caves
where King David hid from Saul the King. Our expedition continues
to a magnificent viewpoint over the Dead Sea at Mitzpe Machvar and finally brings us back to the Dragot Resort.
