The ALYN 2026 Night Hike
If you've ever embarked on a nighttime hike through the Israeli desert, you know just how breathtaking the experience can be. The full moon casts a luminous glow over the landscape, often making a flashlight unnecessary as the trail unfolds before you. Above, a vast canopy of stars shimmers, creating a magical atmosphere where you can fully embrace the desert’s beauty—without the sweltering heat of the day.
The ALYN 2026 night hike will begin on the night of June 25 and conclude on the morning of June 26.
Route Description:
Starting/Ending Point: Sde Boker
Total Distance: Approximately 9 km
Trails: Desert trails with a sunrise ascent above Nahal Zin
End of the Hike: A well-deserved light breakfast/Time to daven
The route is designed to provide an unforgettable experience of a night in the desert, under a starry sky, without the intense daytime heat.
The most meaningful part of this extraordinary hike is the cause behind it. Each participant will raise or contribute 2,000 NIS, directly supporting the treatment of hundreds of children with physical disabilities at ALYN, Israel’s only hospital exclusively dedicated to the rehabilitation of children facing significant physical challenges.
