TRIP OVERVIEW

Join Finjan to a day hike in the southern Judean desert: amazing views of the Dead Sea, deep canyons , flowing spring and a rare oasis, this hike has it all!

We will start our hike climbing up to the black flint table of the cliff of Tamrur, wander around the strange rock formations of the desert highland, and reach the massive dry waterfall of the Bokkek stream where it drops a 180 meters in a sudden. Reaching the cliffs above the Dead Sea, we will descend the steep Bokkek ascent, overcoming a 400 meters drop, into the oasis of Ein Bokkek: a flowing canyon with fresh water.

Time permitting, we will have time to swim in the Dead Sea in the public beach of Ein Bokkek (showers and wardrobes are available)

This hike is suitable for hikers in shape, who can handle steep ascents and descents.

Total hiking distance: 9.5Km with 150m of ascents and 650m of descents.

Early sale tickets will be sold for 199 NIS in a limited quantity and then at a regular price of 220 NIS

The trip is dependent on a minimum number of participants.
