The best that the Southern Arava desert has to offer! Walk through the Red Canyon, see the spectacular sand dunes within the Ovda Valley. For a better taste of the desert, try the local desert-produced wines at Kibbutz Neot Semadar while learning about the lifestyle and values of collective communal kibbutz. See the future reflected in the transformations which the Kibbutz is undergoing from traditional agricultural lifestyle to the booming technology of today!
On this tour, you will visit some of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the south of Israel. The tour will begin with a hike along the walls of the Red Canyon, sculpted over millions of years by water and wind, and featuring magnificent backdrops and undisturbed desert trails. At Kibbutz Neot Semadar, we will explore its iconic arts complex and learn about Kibbutz life from one of the most ecologically minded communities in the Arava Valley.
Taste the wines made here using grapes from the local organic farm, where harsh desert conditions and heightened altitude contribute to the complex and full bodied flavors. Enjoy the local fruits, vegetables, and cheeses at Pundak Neot Semadar, a restaurant and shop that features healthy vegetarian meals you can buy for lunch and produce from the organic farm at the Kibbutz.
