Tours to Israel » Туры » Tour “Far from Civilization”
The deserts of the Negev, Arava, and Judean Desert cover nearly 60% of Israel’s territory.
The history of Israel is deeply connected with the desert — the land through which Moses led the Jewish people for forty years, the land of the ancient Incense Route and the Nabataean civilization. Even today, the desert captivates travelers with its grandeur, dramatic landscapes, ringing silence, and breathtaking scenery.
The schedule and days of excursions depend on the arrival date.
Changes to the itinerary and excursion schedule may occur on national and religious Jewish and Christian holidays, as well as due to circumstances beyond the company’s control (such as weather conditions, etc.).
