A powerful two-hour desert experience revealing the secrets of the desert and the local way of life.
During the tour, we will pass through the Bedouin settlements of the Jahalin tribe and learn about their unique lifestyle. We will discover ancient water cisterns that collect floodwaters and climb to “Mount Azazel” (Jebel Muntar) – a breathtaking viewpoint revealing the Dead Sea Rift, Jericho, the Hyrcania Valley, and Jerusalem. At the summit, we will hear the fascinating story of this mountain, from which the scapegoat was historically cast off on Yom Kippur during the Temple era.
