About Israel By Foot

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

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

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 FOOT 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 FOOT 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 
  experience of Israel's land & culture.
• Visits to all the major touring sites
  including Jerusalem, Masada, the Dead
  Sea, Tel Aviv, and the Sea of Galilee.
• Adventurous outdoor experiences that
  include kayaking, camel trekking, and, of course, hiking!
• A memorable night under the stars
  camping in the desert (no bathrooms
  /showers). All other nights are in hotels
  or kibbutz guest houses) 
•  The opportunity to meet participants
  from all over North America, not only
  from one region or campus.
• The opportunity to meet, interact,
  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 FOOT is appropriate for all skill levels. The idea of the trip is not to provide a physical hiking-based challenge. Rather, our aim is to provide an innovative way to experience the country.
