Nekarot Horseshoe & Ammonite Wall (Nahal Nekarot)

Published on November 7, 2026 • By

A classic, awe-inspiring desert trek winding through the deep canyon of Nahal Nekarot on the floor of Makhtesh Ramon. The trail passes Khan Saharonim, an ancient Nabataean roadside caravanserai on the Incense Route, before tracing the steep gorge walls and the famed Ammonite Wall, where hundreds of giant prehistoric cephalopod fossils are preserved in limestone.
