Off-Road Tour Along the Incense Route
The ‘Incense Route’ was a network of ancient roads that enabled transferring precious spices and perfumes across the Arabian Peninsula to the Mediterranean coast. Incense, spices, perfumes, and other luxury goods were carried on caravans of camel across thousands of miles, starting at the Southern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, and ending at the Mediterranean coast. Here, cargo ships distributed the valuable goods through the Mediterranean Sea. Part of this important route passed across the Negev, in the southern part of Israel. This special off-road private tour will follow some of these ancient trails. We will drive across enchanting wilderness landscapes and visit fascinating and mysterious archaeological sites, caravanserai of the ancient convoys.
