Instead of the 2024 Israel Ride, we are offering the Arava Institute Mission: Insights into the Region. This mission will run from October 27 to November 1 and will include an opportunity to connect with communities and individuals impacted by October 7 as well as meet Arava Institute partners and communities and hear how their work has evolved over these past 10 months.
It will include an immersive experience day at the Arava Institute and offer 2 optional riding days as well as opportunities to volunteer. Space is limited for this small, curated trip designed to address current needs.
SAVE THE DATE FOR THE 2025 ARAVA INSTITUTE ISRAEL RIDE: OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 4, 2025
The annual Israel Ride is the premier cycling experience in Israel. Enjoy five glorious days of biking, with route options for recreational, experienced, and non-riders. All routes are fully supported with plentiful local food, wonderful crew and mechanics, and great overnight locations.
The week-long Ride includes orientation, five cycling days, and a day off for Shabbat. There is something for everyone on the Israel Ride – for those new to Israel or seasoned travelers, for those coming on their own, with families, or part of local teams, and for riders of all ages. Learn about the ecological challenges in the region as you explore the Negev desert, and support the work of the Arava Institute.
