The company was established by Ziv Sherzer and Noam Mordish, after years of exploring the area and relishing in its abundance. The Negev desert, in southern Israel, has a special tranquility that can be felt from the very first moment. Our bicycle tours wind through beautiful scenery, unique geological formations, archaeological sites that go back as far as the Stone Age, endemic fauna and flora,
and of course, Bedouin nomads who still live by the traditions of their ancestors. From October to April, when temperatures in Europe drop below zero, that’s the season for the desert, where temperatures stay between 15°C and 25°C and rain only falls a few days per year. The network of trails selected by Desert Cyclist Tours is based on ancient paths used by camels and nomads. Some are even part of the “Incense Route” UNESCO world heritage site. The trails we offer vary in length, difficulty and gradient, but all were tested and selected as the best the Negev has to offer. At The Desert Cyclist, we believe that an unforgettable bicycle experience requires continuity – with no car transfer from place to place: just you, the bike and the desert! Nights are spent at high-class cottages, bike hotels and Bedouin tents – all along the route and under the desert stars …
Let us lead you to the wilderness of the Negev.
