Israel Ride

The 2024 Israel Ride has been cancelled. In its place, we are offering a smaller trip to Israel called “Arava Institute Mission: Insights into the Region” which will include an opportunity to bear witness to some of the impacts of October 7th, have an immersive experience day at the Arava Institute and have 2 riding days.

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.
