This is a trip for the kids – young and old!

Urgent message to the grown-ups:

Please don’t keep your kids cooped up in cities all the time! Get them outdoors, to breathe some fresh air, to feel the immensity of nature, and to stretch their legs and minds!”

There are so many things to do and see in beautiful Wadi Tanuf…

Flowers to admire and sniff…

Fire to be mesmerized by…

Forces of nature to imagine… how did those boulders get there?

Tents to pitch in beautiful places…

And abandoned villages to explore…

Look! Why are there seashells in the mud the villagers used as building materials centuries ago?

Just follow the GPS track and map below!
