About the Activity
Join us for an exciting and fascinating hike through the golden expanses of the Nitzanim Sands in the southern coastal plain.
Together, we will embark on a magical journey of discovery in the heart of the dunes, exploring the secrets hidden right beneath our feet.
During the hike, we will become young trackers, follow the footprints of local animals, and learn to identify who walked there before us.
We will get to know the unique sand vegetation that has adapted to life in the dunes and understand how nature in the coastal plain comes alive.
We will conclude the experience at a spectacular sunset, with one last enjoyable roll down the famous Crescent Dune.
Come discover the secrets of the sands, enjoy magical sunset views, and return home with sand-filled shoes and a big smile!
