As an Israeli Tour Guide, highly recommend for a short hike. Better take the one way route and your guide will wait for you by the end of the path.

Beautiful hiking trail with well preserved nature. But we need a bit of planning to eat at a designated place and fill water bottles before hiking. No getting into water/pond. No access to the monks cave since three months ago. Vultures are nesting on top of hills. The last part of the one way hike was very steep but at the end there was a small shop selling ice creams. Very refreshing place in beautiful natural white canyon.

Amazing view and amazing view and again amazing view. This place is all about view. Love the natural formation of the rocky crater. Narrow stream is flowing naturally through the rocks. Beautiful big caves. There are multiple pools in the area, but swimming is not recommended. The upper pool view from the edge of the crater is stunning. It took us about 1 to 1.5 hour with multiple stopping and careful walking from lower parking lot to upper parking lot. It's one way trail. So, if you up for an adventure, try walking back from upper parking lot to lower parking lot by the road which will take around 3 hours with moderate pace.

Great treks along the wadi. We took the short and it was very easy, with water, which is super amazing in June in Negev desert. It’s not crowded. We saw eagles, vultures and mountains goats along the route.

An amazing experience for all travelers. Highly recommended. The road is a bit rough but the views are incredible. If you want to go up the canyon and overlook the entire place you need to have another car waiting for you in the upper parking lot. It's the same ticket.

The Nabataeans built and inhabited Avdat from the 1st century, until an earthquake deconstructed the structures early in the 7th century. Truly magnificent Nabatean fortress with layers of ancient history. Fantastic stop for history buffs, with sweeping views over the desert mountains. It is indeed quite incredible to find water channels in the middle of the desert, but just the same as around the dead sea, there are plenty of springs in the the Negev. The best to go there autumn to winter when the weather is just fine. The hike to the top is definitely challenging, so be sure to take it slow and steady. The views of the canyon at the top are just spectacular, making the trek well worth it. Very interesting archeological site. Those anchient Naabatiens were crazy dudes, making wine in the middle of the desert. The site is well maintained and very interesting. It can get very hot/cold so try to visit during transitional seasons.

Amazing natural valley and cliff that are all peculiar in this region. It is indeed quite incredible to find water channels in the middle of the desert, but just the same as around the dead sea, there are plenty of springs in the the Negev. The best to go there autumn to winter when the weather is just fine. Even in summer it's still that bad because you will reach the cliff almost by car, from the parking place you will walk less than a km (800m).

Very beautiful place, a real oasis in the desert. Things to note : Eating is forbidden at all time in the park area , and at one point you can not go back the way you came. Look up there website for info.
