A short half-hour hike to a stunning, unfamiliar place near Nahal Tzin.



In the desert landscape, you will find several caves that have been in use since the Nabataean period. One of them was used for burial and has excavations of burial chambers from the 1-3 centuries AD.



Others were used for solitude. You can go into two of them and examine them from the inside. You can sit to rest in the largest cave, look at the area, and listen to the silence.



The length of the route is about 200 m.


Enjoy🤗
