Taste of Israel

This bike tour offers the rider a diverse array of landscapes and riding conditions from the rolling green hills in the north, through the golden desert, and down to the Red Sea. The tour begins at the tributaries of the Jordan River and during the first two days of biking, follows the river down to the Sea of Galilee. The third day includes a track along the Sea of Galilee and its historical sites, bringing the bikers to Kibbutz Sha’ar HaGolan for a well-earned rest.

After the first three days of biking, we will load the bicycles onto a trailer and drive via the Jordan Valley and the Judean Hills to Jerusalem, the holiest of cities to the three monotheistic religions.

​

We will enjoy a half day of urban biking amidst the distinctive neighborhoods of Jerusalem, visiting both sections of the unique city, the western city and the Old City and the winding lanes and alleys leading to the Temple Mount.

​

Following our ride through Jerusalem, we will set out on a three day track through desert terrain. We will cycle down south to Mitzpeh Ramon, the largest crater in Israel.

​

On the following day, we will continue biking south through the Arava to Timna Park, where we will have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of singles tracks amidst some of the most unusual natural landscapes in Israel. Our final day of biking will take us from Park Timna to Eilat, the southernmost city in Israel that lies on the coast of the Red Sea.

​

Our best cycling guides from GANORBIKES will accompany the bikers throughout the journey, and will be able to adapt the tracks to the biking proficiency of each group.
