Itinerary description

Nahal Bokeq offers great desert views and is perfectly suitable for full moon night hikes. There is no designated parking at the beginning of the trail, but there are several options to leave the car on the side of Road 31.
The suggested hike follows the green bicycle path going all the way to Bokeq waterfall, from there you can see the Ein Bokeq resort and the Dead Sea below. From there you go back following 4x4 trails until you reach the Tamrur Cliff where you can wait for the sunrise.
The whole trail is ~17 km and should take approximately 6 hours to finish.
