Kana'im Valley, between Arad and Masada, about 15 minutes' drive from Arad, Arad
Is this your business?Claim it freeA desert lodging village founded in 1991 in the Kana'im Valley between Arad and Masada, with guest rooms, Bedouin-style tents and a herd of camels.
Kfar Hanokdim is a green oasis in the Kana'im Valley of the Judean Desert, 7.6 kilometres from Arad and 11 from the western side of Masada by its own count, founded in 1991. Under date palms and orchards stand guest rooms, tents woven of goat hair, wide khans of local stone and guest sukkahs that are half room and half tent, and there is ground for guests' own tents and caravans. By day the village runs camel rides, a camel-care compound and a petting corner, and in the evening a guided night walk to see the desert's animals and its stars; six marked trails leave from the village. Meals are ordered ahead and served in its dining rooms, and loud music is not played in the village, though a guitar by the campfire is welcome. Its site counts 79 palms, 32 camels, 10 donkeys and 126 hammocks.
