Eretz Hatzvi Dead Sea Tours
Eretz Hatzvi Tours, led by guide Zvika Peretz, runs guided nature and hiking trips in Israel, including recurring routes in the Judean Desert and Dead Sea basin. Current operator and regional-tourism pages specifically list Dead Sea sinkhole-area trips among the available programs.
Tour dates, route difficulty and meeting points vary. Contact the operator for the current Dead Sea schedule or a private-group proposal.
Confirm the exact route, meeting point, distance, difficulty, equipment, booking terms and weather status for your date.
Dead Sea and sinkhole-area tours
The current operator schedule includes guided outings connected to sinkholes, salt formations, warm-water sites and desert wadis. Some are public registration tours, while private arrangements may also be available.
Do not treat a sinkhole tour as permission to explore the shoreline independently. Sinkholes and subsidence zones can be unstable, and official geological research states that crossing such areas is unsafe without established safety arrangements. Join only the confirmed route, stay with the guide and follow all access instructions.
Choosing the right route
Ask for the distance, elevation changes, terrain, estimated walking time and required fitness. Tell the operator about medical or mobility limits before registration. The suitability of one Dead Sea route does not establish that another route is appropriate for the same traveler.
Desert trips also depend on heat, rain and flash-flood risk. Confirm the final departure and equipment list close to the tour date.
