Israel Hiking offers guided walks “stressing landscapes, nature and historic sites.”
Sounds like a great way to visit the Holy Land.
… Israel is not a big country, but the range of landscapes is diverse. You can experience steep mountains, the Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee, the Judean Desert, the Arava and the Negev, and of course, Jerusalem. The stories of the bible and the antiquities from various periods can be seen wherever you go. We will do our utmost to produce a trip filled with experiences that you will talk about long after you return home. …
Our guides are English speakers, who are certified guides and have experience in the regions of the trip. If you are interested in a tour in a language other than English, we will make every effort to find a guide who speaks the language and masters the professional terms so that you will be able to enjoy the trip.
I greatly enjoyed hiking in the Sinai and even more so in Jordan. But I’ve never been to Israel myself.
The first trip that jumps out at me is a 7-day section of the much longer Israel National Trail:
From Tel Hay to Meron on the The Israel National Trail crosses Israel from the very north to Eilat through the Country‘s principal, most beautiful sites. …
The hike ends at the Amoud River as it approaches Lake Kinnereth. From there, we will travel by car to the youth hostel on Lake Kinnereth.
The difficulty level of the hike on the Israel National Trail is medium. …
Full price: 600 Euro. See the map.
Makhtesh Ramon (Ramon Crater) – Wikipedia
Other more difficult treks that appeal are Ramon Crater to the Arava valley and the Eilat Hike from Timnah.
I assume security is not much of an issue when hiking in Israel. But it might be a good idea for a first time visitor to go with experts and learn the ropes.

Hey guys,
First of all I want to say that I’m reading your blog for a long time now. It’s definitely one of the best! Thank you for that.
I want to clarify one thing about the Israeli National trail. this trail is an almost 1000Km long path that crosses Israel from north to south. the suggested hike is only a small portion of the northern part of the trail. The entire trek will take you from the green forests of the north, through the shores of the Mediterranean sea and the mountains of Jerusalem to the beautiful Negev desert in the south. a very rewarding trek. Although I didn’t do the entire trek at once, I hiked many of It’s portions and I can give you my word that It’s wonderful. You won’t see any alpine scenery nor very high mountains but you’ll see some other beautiful landscapes.
Last, some words about the security Issue that you mentioned. I’m living in Israel and I can tell you first hand that the things that you hear in the news aren’t as bad as it sounds. although Israel is not living in peace with some of It’s neighbors the life here (Most of the time) aren’t as intense as you may think. last year, for example, we had a war in the north for a month or so and It wasn’t a good time to hike that part of the trail but since then, and for most of the time you can come and visit without any worries.
