The 6 Best Hiking Trails in Jerusalem, Jerusalem District
Religious pilgrims have been traveling to Jerusalem for centuries, yet you don’t have to share their zeal in order to appreciate this city’s profound cultural and historical significance. Plan on seeing the major sights, but also leave plenty of time to walk through the streets and simply immerse yourself in the daily life of such an ancient and revered place.

Nahal Og is a beautiful canyon hike . Easy reachable. Near Kibbutz Almog close by the Dead Sea are sign which point to Nahal Og. From the parking lot leads a easy trail to the canyon. Once in the canyon awaits the hiker a incredible landscape. Best is to do the hike upward and the loop back to the parking lot. Bring some picknick along, water, and take your time to rest at numerous beautiful spots where you can take lots of great pictures. This hike includes climbing some ladders to overcome high rock formations, waterfalls. In my opinion, a must do when passing near Kibbutz Almog.

This is a forested mountain area within 15 minutes or less of the Jerusalem city limit. It is ideal for hiking, biking, relaxing, picnicking, barbecue, seeing ancient terraced farming, exploring ancient buildings, and of brave- swimming in reservoirs of water. As such, is a great and easy get-away to nature, to do real but non stressful hiking. ... and that’s exactly what we did when “I visited this place” yesterday with a trio of eleven, six and three year old boys. We hiked the first segment of the eight kilometer loop of Har Eitan (known in English as “Mount A. Tahnn). As you can see by my attached “helpful” photos, the trail is very wide and there are expansive open views and also wildflowers in season. As stated in the photo descriptions, it was surprisingly not crowded on the trail, although the parking lot was full.

For a few hours we became amateur archaeologists participating in a project sifting through debris from the area in the City of David where we had walked the previous day - how cool is that? We listened to an archaeologist talk in a lively interesting way about what archaeologists do, the process of digging and sifting and then after a demonstration, we went at it with guidance from the archaeological staff. A young boy in our group found a coin from the second temple period. We found quite a lot of pottery and stones. We were hoping for a major discovery but were content in a renewed appreciation of the archaeological work all over Israel that uncovers so much history. It was fun and a great way to go behind the scenes so-to-speak of all the archaeological sites we have been visiting in Israel. Note: we booked this 1.5 hour tour on the City of David website in the Mount of Olives Tours section. We took a taxi from our hotel and asked a staff member to call a taxi for our return.
