About

Nahal Og

The stream channels of Nahal Og begin in northeast Jerusalem, and run parallel to Route 1 on the way to the Dead Sea. The total length of the stream is approximately 30 km up to the point of origin of the Dead Sea, in its northern part. In the part of the stream near Kibbutz Almog, the trail passes through an impressive, short canyon section. Here, the stream courses over hard limestone which, through time, has weathered and eroded, creating a short series of waterfalls. It is recommended to walk up and climb the waterfalls, using the embedded hand-holds and ladders positioned along the way. This section is narrow and deep and runs through upright rock-walls. After incidents of flooding, the stream fills with water craters, for a short period of time. During this time, crossing them entails immersion in the water and sometimes, even necessitates swimming.

In stormy and rainy weather, it is strictly forbidden to enter the stream for fear of flash-flooding.

Rahaf Stream

Rahaf Stream is located south of Masada in one of the most beautiful and  impressive canyons in the Judean Desert. The stream begins in the Judean Desert  and ends in the Dead Sea, near Mount Elazar. It is 20 kilometers long with a  drainage area basin of nearly 80 square kilometers. The stream begins in the  Kenaiim Valley between Masada and Arad. From there, it makes its descent into  the Dead Sea. In Arabic, the stream is called “Wadi Khafaf,” which means “river  with rustling wings.”  The canyon of the stream is narrow and deep with many waterfalls and rapids. It  can be a challenging route and is suitable for rappelling, descending between the  rocks, crossing waterfalls with the help of ropes, and crossing the stream itself with  ropes, which can fill up after floods. In the middle of the canyon, at the point which  opens up a little and can be reachable without rappelling equipment, there is a  deep, shady, and beautiful ridge that was found filled for several months following  floods.​ At the stream, you’ll encounter Tristam’s starlings, which sometimes get so close  that they’ll eat from your hand.  There are green and blue trail marking throughout the route.    The itinerary, as described above, is a recommendation only. Those who choose to take  this trip do so at their own discretion and responsibility. The Regional Councils will not be  held accountable in the event of any adverse consequences that may occur.
