Ecological Workshop<\/strong><\/h2>

Our ecological site offers a fascinating discovery into harmonious life among desert nature. The Negev\u2019s arid climate places limitations on agricultural development, as the desert rainfall is insufficient in irrigating crops and sand and dust storms create difficulty for crops to flourish in the area. By harnessing nature\u2019s forces, desert dwellers were able to integrate sustainable solutions into everyday life to produce: water, desert coolers for cooling plants, solar energy for cooking, aquaponics combining plant and fish growth symbiotically and biogas by animal husbandry.
Through our Bedouin Pa-Tent Workshop, we promote creative thinking togenerate sustainable solutions, in line with our commitment to raise awareness of the necessity of environmental changes. Participants will delve into important techniques which are vital to tackling agricultural challenges through the utilization of alternative energy sources. Together we delve into a world of green technology, renewable energy and discuss their powerful impact on contributing towards a better world.
Minimum group requirement of 15 people.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nokdim Single Track Cycling Trip<\/strong><\/h2>

The Kana\u2019im Valley, a wild nature preserve almost untouched by humankind, winds between the towering canyons of Nahal Tse\u2019elim and Nahal Rahaf. The only inhabitants are the Bedouins – the people of the desert who live in the wadis (valleys) surrounding Kfar Hanokdim, where they continue to graze their flocks of sheep and camels as in the days of yore.
Single Nokdim\u00a0offers participants an experiential and enjoyable cycling journey in the heart of the Kana\u2019im Valley, on a marked circular route. The seven-kilometer track has a level of difficulty of easy to medium and bicycles can be rented for both independent or guided cycling trips.<\/p>

Camel Trekking <\/h2>

As part of the tradition of desert life, we tend to a magnificent herd of 30 female camels. The domestication of camels by humans began thousands of years ago and ever since, camels occupy a central role in the lives of desert dwellers. Regardless of technological advances and the transition towards settled life, many desert nomads still choose to raise camels. \nAt Kfar Hanokdim, you can choose from a wide range of options, from a short ride (popular for photo ops), to camel treks deep into the desert. Our majestic flock of camels are under continuous veterinary supervision and enjoy access to food and water 24 hours a day. They are used to carrying visitors on their backs and the experience is both safe and fun for everyone. \nA short five-minute introductory video depicting the life of camels is presented in our ranch enclosure before you saddle up! The standard 30 minute ride is guided by the Bedouin, for whom the camels are like part of the family, and we will ride into the breath-taking primeval landscape within the heart of the desert.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
