Desert Hiking Guide

For the last 15 years, Asaf Hershtig lives and breathes the desert and its possible to say that, there aren’t many who convey it quite like he does.

The experience that Asaf offers – the very essence of a man on a journey – is an experience of depth and discovery, of courage and openness.

His ‘playground’ – the desert level – provides pleasant surprises and those who travel with him, praise him with positive acclaim.

Friends recount – a night in the desert with your child.
“Everyone’s looking for something. Something that they’ve lost, or have even forgotten that they once had… Simplicity, for example. The desert has this in abundance! And in this desert simplicity, without cellular communication and social networks, you can discover things. I re-discovered the young boy inside myself. Then I looked at my own child beside me, and felt a nostalgic connection… We were three couples, we traveled the same route, on the same adventure, yet each one of us experienced it completely differently, in his own way. As far as Asaf was concerned, it was an experiment for a new kind of journey. A navigational quest to find yourself, or something like that. And I think the experiment succeeded! And I’d love for you to try it also”. Nadav Ziv

Asaf offers a wide range of trips for couples, families, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, and more… All with a connecting thread of human contact through simplicity and common discovery.

This ideal travel experience includes a dusk departure and, for about 4 to 6 hours, walking in darkness illuminated by wondrous moonlight.

A hike, a campfire, and a creatively self-prepared desert meal, are just some of the things that await you.

A compelling experience worth trying out!

Life Paintings

Suzette Razon, artist and teacher for over 30 years, has developed a method of “life  paintings,” which allow participants to better understand and feel themselves through  drawing.  With this method, Suzette guides people on how to approach painting and  drawing from a variety of angles, just like life, which can observed from many  directions.  The activity can be done through uninhibited drawing with crayons, and without  really understanding how to draw at all.   A short, spontaneous drawing with no planning at all. However, it comes with the  attitude of a young child who is happy with any result.  Suzette’s goal is to bring out your creativity and discover shapes and colors  through a fun and relaxing painting experience.  Personal or group meetings in Mount Amasa in the forest or in the desert in order  to easily draw and derive inspiration and creativity.  You can also purchase instructional videos for painting at home in your free  timehttps://suzeta.co.il/life-paintings/  See you in the pictures,  Suzette Razon

Kayak Tours with Added Value

For visitors to the area who want to experience another beautiful desert  viewpoint.    Kayak trips for groups, which reveal the magic of the local nature from the Dead  Sea to the beaches of Ein Gedi and the surrounding desert landscape. The trip is  combined with a walk along the beach to provide a fully enjoyable Dead Sea  experience.  The rowing is done along the salt steps. The layers of the soil are exposed through  an easy walk along the drying line, while listening to stories about the  environmental features and sinkholes.   Over two decades of kayaking experience in Israel and around the globe have  allowed us to provide an amazing excursion, combining the beauties and  difficulties of living in this unique landscape.
