The AKBAN desert gathering

For us, the desert is freedom and sanctuary. It strips away modern comforts but never fails to bring adventure.

We navigate old schools, no GPS, each trail guided by map reading skills, experience and deliberation.

In small, 4–5 people teams, on foot only, carrying all our food, water and equipment in backpacks, we navigate for days. Only to meet in a predetermined coordinates, spar, eat together at night, go to sleep, and at sunrise walk away, different paths, taking care to leave no tracks or traces.

Amidst the Negev desert's rugged beauty, there is clarity and connection—both with nature and each other. The experience leaves an indelible mark, enriching our lives long after we've returned.
