Derb el Sultan

This is another antique road crossing the Negev Desert in its entire width, from the Arava area through the Hamakhmal Heights.
The departing point is Sdeh Boker locted in the Negev, passing the wells of the Hazinim cliff – Ein Akav and Ein Sik, two water sources with rich and variegated vegetation – contrasting with the surrounding Negev desert.
We follow our route along Wadi Zinim to Wadi Hove and from there on up to the Hamachmal Heights.
We will cross the unspoiled wilderness of the brown Chamada, dark rocks, white chalk and limestone. We will begin to ascend the mountain range of the Negev and descend toward the Arava through Wadi Marsabah, rich in acacia trees and other vegetation, where the landscape ressembles the African Savanna. We finish our trip in Ein Yahav.
