The trek begins in the small southern city of Arad, a home to many diverse communities. Hebrew-Israelites, Hasidic Jews, and immigrants from Ethiopia, Russia, Georgia, and Iraq all call Arad their home.

Parts of the trail pass through the Bedouin territories. Between the herds of sheep and shacks in the middle nowhere we’ll enjoy the best kind of hospitality, that only Bedouins can offer.

All the camping logistics will be taken care of by the Wild-Trails team, including food, water, and camping equipment along the trail, so you can travel light and worry-free.
