Rappelling in Israel

Being here, walking the Land, touring- are all positive methods of building the connection.



Some people have a more extreme approach:
Climb up, rappel down, jeep across. To learn how, or to experience, check out:

Rappelling trails (suitable specifically for groups):

Southern Israel:
Tamar Canyon: a short, beautiful hiking trail in a majestic canyon containing a 20-meter cliff (with an adjacent ladder). Recommended season: all year.

Rachaf Canyon: a beautiful canyon in the South Judean Desert that features two trails. The long trail boasts nine 28-meter cliffs for rappelling. In addition, there are water pools for some light swimming. Recommended season: May - August.

Tamarim Canyon: a canyon with more than four 50-meter cliffs. Recommended season: all year except when flood warnings are issued.

Tur: a canyon in the Judean Desert with more than three 70-meter cliffs; advised for those with previous rappelling experience. Recommended season: all year except when flood warnings are issued.
