ISRAEL BY BIKE is a 10-day Taglit-Birthright Israel trip specially designed for bicyclists and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds (see: Israel By Bike - Sample Itinerary)

What's in store?? The Western Wall, Masada, the Dead Sea, a traditional Bedouin feast, snorkeling in the Red Sea (winter only), camel riding, hiking, rafting down the Jordan River, Jerusalem & Tel Aviv, the Golan Heights…and some breathtakingly beautiful biking.

We also spend five out of the ten days touring Israel with a group of Israeli peers on leave from their army service. What better way to experience Israel than with Israeli friends at your side??

ISRAEL BY BIKE is a hands-on opportunity to get a taste of Israel's natural beauty, diverse culture, and rich history. If you are looking for something that is truly off the beaten track, then this trip is the ideal way to experience Israel. See you on the trails!! (What's the difference between Quest, Foot & Bike??)

The 10-day ISRAEL BY BIKE trip is about…

• An eco-adventure that gets you off the
  tour bus and on your feet! Perfect for
  anyone who wants a more intimate Israel
  experience land & culture. 
• Visits to all the major touring sites
  including Jerusalem, Masada, Dead Sea,
  Tel Aviv, and the Sea of Galilee.
• Active outdoor experiences including: 
  kayaking, camel trekking,
  swimming and, of course, biking!

  camping in the desert (no bathrooms
  /showers). All other nights are in hotels
  or kibbutz guest houses)

  from one region or campus.

  and form relationships with Israeli
  peers on leave from the army.
• Top-notch staff including accredited
  Israeli guides/educators and dynamic
  North American peer chaperones.

*ISRAEL BY BIKE is appropriate for all skill levels. The idea of the trip is not to provide a physical bike-based challenge. Rather, our aim is to provide an innovative way to experience the country.
