hi,

what kind of hiking opportunities does Israel offer and where would be best to enjoy hiking in Israel? Also, are there hiking tours of some sort available to tourists?

hello Othello,

There are many places for hiking in Israel, and it all depends on your level of expertise and fitness.

For instance, in Ein Gedi National Park, you get to hike through desert landscapes, see the natural springs of Nachal Arugot and observe a variety of wildlife.

Ein Avdat National Park is another place I would suggest as it features natural attractions such as a waterfall, refreshing pools, and interesting wildlife.

If you'd like the company of an experienced hiker, then you can book guided hiking tours. One of the best Israel hiking tours is at Nakik Shachor in the Golan Heights region, on the border with Syria.
