In the heart of the desert, on a hilltop above the Tsin Stream watercourse, are the impressive remains of an ancient Nabatean city.

Unfortunately, due to rain we were unable to explore this UNESCO Heritage Site that we unexpectedly stumbled upon along Highway 40 in the Negev. This ancient city of the Nabateans was located along the Incense Route between 1st Century BCE-7th Century AD, second only in importance to Petra in Jordan. Perched upon a plateau high above the desert, it was the modern metal outlined sculptures of a camel caravan that alerted me to the site. We stopped below for gasoline and a McDonald's hamburger, which hit the spot after several weeks of Mid-Eastern dining.

this was my first experience of hiking in israel, and it left a positive impression on me. when you leave your vehicle and enter the trail there is a stand where maps of the park's territory and hiking trails are available. in the beginning of the green easy trail there is a rather shallow landscape (pics 1, 2), which gives you a little taste of the desert and its ancient rocks. then you eventually enter the red canyon itself (pics 3, 4, 5,) where special facilities for rock climbing can be found (pic 6). after finishing the green trail and leaving the narrow red canyon, you can return to the parking through a special returning path or continue your journey on a black more hard trail (pic 7). it is surrounded by mountains and contains some harsh climbs. at some point of the black trail you can continue your journey or take the red trail, that will take you back to the parking through the desert hills (pic 8). the park's trails are provided with special color markings on the rocks that show you which of the trails you're currently walking, so you can hardly get lost there. the only bad thing about this park is that on the maps and in the signs that are set on the trails there is no information about the length of the paths and approximate time it takes to hike them. during our visit, it took us about 2 hours to complete the journey that i described previously - the green trail, half of the black trail and the red trail. in overall, this was an amazing experience - but don't forget to bring with you a big bottle of water or two and a first aid kit, since the nature reserve is far from the civilization, and there are of course no shops and sometimes even no cellular.

Nature at its best! There's a 30 minute challenging hike to the natural pool, but if we seniors could do it anyone can. If you're into swimming in very cold water at least bring towels :-) Don't expect to find any kiosk, cafes or restaurants anywhere near. Bring drinking water.
