Join Us

The Israel Ride is the premier cycling experience in Israel—offering a fully supported 7-day cycling adventure from Jerusalem to Eilat. Cyclists ride 150-300 miles, descending across the diverse landscape of the Jerusalem Mountains, through long stretches of agricultural lands and the Negev desert, including the stunning terrain of Maktesh Ramon, to arrive at the Red Sea in Eilat.

Each year, approximately 150-200 riders join together to meet their diverse personal and collective aspirations, including physical challenge goals, celebration of life transitions, and creating a deeper connection to Israel—all while raising funds for two charitable organizations that are at the forefront of environmental cooperation- the Arava Institute in Israel and Hazon in the United States.
