Hike in the Negev and Aravah Valley

Bordered by the lush Aravah Valley on its eastern side, the 4,700-square-mile Negev desert covers more than half of the entire country of Israel. While the region may seem inhospitable at first, it’s actually home to varied flora and fauna. Incredible geological formations can be found here, including three different craters and multiple canyons, the most famous being Machtesh Ramon. There are endless hikes in this region worth trekking along, but before you embark on one, make sure you are well versed in the area and are properly equipped. A guide might be a good bet as the conditions (hot and dry with a possibility of flash floods in winter) can be harsh if you’re unprepared. Some top hikes in the Negev and Aravah include the Red Canyon, Timna Park, Ein Avdat National Park, Ein Saharonim (inside Machtesh Ramon), and Pura Nature Reserve.
