Walkways organizes exclusive
mountainbike-tours to Israel, Jordan and Egypt. The starting
point of most tours is Tel Aviv or Eilat. We combine the
fascinating landscapes of these countries, which are well suited
to mountainbikes, with their historical sights. We would just
like to mention a few highlights:
Jerusalem,
Petra, St. Katharina Monastery.
Our roundtrips vary between 8 or 15 days. A tourguide, fluent in English, Hebrew, German and French will accompany you throughout the trip. Needless to say there is always a vehicle carrying spare wheels, tools and food supplies close by.
Here are some possibilities:
