The Ad-Halom Ottoman bridge and how close Israel was to losing the whole Negev desert in 1948;
The Sderot tree and understanding a deeper look into the Gaza Israel conflict;
Tel Harur, Grar land and Be'er Sheva. The first anchor established by Abraham in the land of Israel;
A focused off road 4x4 jeep track in Makhtesh Mitzpe Ramon east, the geological desert wonders and the Nabati spice route: East Ramon crater is one of the classical 4x4 jeep tours in the Negev desert. From all over the world, researchers and tourists come to experience the geological phenomena of the Ramon erosion crater. The unique geological process, reveals 240 million years of active earth crust evolution, including Dykes, Mif'ar, Sand rocks, polished deep gorge, Gavnun, Plutonic formations, colored rocks, "baked" sand prism rocks and all this is in an actively growing erosion crater!! The Ramon Crater hosts part of the world heritage "Nabati Spice Track", starting at Yemen, through Saudi-Arabia, Petra in Jordan and the Israeli Negev desert. This is a "story unto itself"...
Day 3: Mitzpe-Ramon to Eilat.
Plunging "head-on" into the deep southern Negev desert, we detour into the biblical formidable 1000 meters wide flash-flood Faran wadi. The Faran wadi is so large, it is known in the Bible as the Faran desert...We shall walk the river-bed in search of rear "immigrants" Faran might have carried into Israel from the Sinai Faran desert and checkout a marvelous oasis cluster of savanna like Acacia desert trees. Further south into the harsh, dry and scorching Negev desert, a fata-morgana patch of green and artistic structures will hit us by surprise! This is the Neot Smadar Ecological and Social phenomena, our immediate target of investigation...
Wonderland valley is further on when we turn off to a narrow road and yet again to a 4x4 track. Amides Spartan dolomite rock mountains, this valley is full of amazingly soft beach-lick sand!! No sea whatsoever in any direction...This is the Kasui phenomena and pleasure...Mother nature sure feels soft and playful..
Back-on-the 4x4 track, it is time for our supper amazing experience, the best of its kind in the world (by those that have traveled the world). Deep down south, at the fare blue waters of the Aqaba Gulf, is the world famous Coral color fish snorkeling beach strip of Eilat. Swimming with the color fish in water that is 0.6 to 3 meters deep is so exhilarating that only the setting sun and "sleepy" fish may get us out of the water...It is time for our lodge check in, hot shower and "fish" for our dinner restaurant in this "tourist city of Israel".
Day 4: Eilat Massif mountains 4x4 track.
This track is probably the most amazing mountainous 4x4 track in Israel! It acquaints us with the most impressive, beautiful and off road 4x4 track through the Eilat massif mountains nature reserve. We will track through Nachal Shlomo, walk up Ma'ale Gishron, climb Har Yoash, view Ein Netafim, walk the Red Canyon of Nachal Shani and cross moon like landscape of Meishar Seipim.
Something in the atmosphere of the interwoven Eilat red, black and white desert mountains, may award you the feeling you are in a grand court of nature...All you need to do, is listen to the great power of creation and peace around you...
The "Eilat massif" landscape as it is called, is the only geological aria in Israel that revels core earth rocks originating from hot magma. Most of the rocks in Israel, were formed when this aria was under water, and millions of years of sea sediments produced white lime stone layers, later pushed up by enormous pressure involving two out of Earth's fifteen tectonic plates, producing hills and mountains all over Israel and are known as "The Jerusalem Stone". The Eilat dark mountains are the true crust of our planet and are visible to us, owing to the desert conditions at Eilat, prohibiting vegetation coverage.
However! This is only half the wonder! How can the jagged red and black granite mountains co-exist with the "soft" and rounded lime stone mountains?... Driving through and climbing these mountains is definitely a wonder and an "on hands" geology class in the midst of The Creators Geological Playground...We yet have some three to fore hours drive up north to our Ayalon Latrun valley base lodge...
Day 5:
