Donkey Trekking In Israel

Israel is one of those countries where trekking is almost second nature. There are so many options available with treks being great for all skill levels. However, because of the nature of the terrain, you will normally need to take a donkey or a camel with you on a longer trek.

We should realize the fact that desert trekking is not that easy. You need a lot of knowledge and you want to be sure that you are going to deal with the huge temperature differences that will appear every day. Winter months bring in high differences between days and nights. As an example, during December you can expect 20 degrees during the day and even 0 degrees during the night. Hot clothes are absolutely necessary when you trek in Israel, with or without donkeys.

Various operators will offer trekking in Israel. We will only mention a couple.
