Ashdot company offers a variety of fun and thrilling activities next to Jerusalem, from easy and relaxing jeep tours in the mountains of Jerusalem or at the Judean hills to challenging and EXTREME rappelling courses that are suitable for families who are athletic and looking for a thrilling activity that would like to challenge their limits.
Caving activities hiking in courses combined with a jeep tour
Also, we provide caving activities hiking in courses that are less familiar such as the canyon of Wadi og, which lies north of the Judean desert, only 30 minutes east of Jerusalem, a beautiful and short hike in a deep and polished canyon (polished from the power of the flood s that runs through it in the winter) this hike can be combined with a jeep tour in the area as well as a visit to the date trees orchards that lies right next to the canyon and understanding how the dates are being picked up.
Rappelling at Qumran Canyon
More options nearby are rappelling at the Qumran canyon and listening to the story of the Easieem, who wrote the dead sea scrolls or swimming in the dead sea.
Water pools to chill in the heat of the desert
Another nonfamiliar site is wadi kelt, which has springs and cool water pools that allow us to chill in the heat of the desert only 20/30 minutes away from Jerusalem. Wadi kelt can be combined
with jeeping in the area or with rappelling/climbing at the canyon.
On the city’s southern side, we offer caving activities.
On the city’s southern side, we offer similar rappelling activities, hiking, and caving in some caves. There is no necessity for ropes, only flashlights and the understanding we need to crawl and squeeze ourselves through parts of the cave that are very narrow as we hear the heroic story of the warriors of Bar Cochva nearly 2000 years ago and in some of the caves, we will rappel into them and then crawl and walk out through it using flashlights.
If you are looking for a more touristy cave that will keep your clothes clean and won’t make you crawl, we can offer the Stalagmites Cave near Beit Shemesh, an amazing cave with lots of beautiful stalagmites and stalactites.
Shilat Cliff near the city of Modieen
One of the sites on the western side of Jerusalem, for example, is the Shilat cliff near the city of Modieen. Only 30 minutes away from the city on this site, we can enjoy rappelling, climbing, and even a thrilling and exciting zip line that allows us to operate many attractions at the same time and allow big groups such as bar mitzvahs to enjoy a few beautiful and challenging activities at the same time.
