How do you tend to a herd in the desert? In this fun and unique tour, you will meet the sweet goats and sheep up close and go with them to the pasture, accompanied by an experienced shepherd who will teach you some herding secrets. Find out how to lead the herd, which plants the goats eat, what to do when a goat gives birth and how to take care of the young. During the relevant season, you can also try out shearing the goats’ or sheep’s wool.
We strongly recommend adding a traditional Bedouin meal to your activity!

Mansaf: A mountain of rice is laid over a layer of freshly baked pita bread, with cooked & seasoned meat on top (we serve chicken), seasonal vegetables on the side, and other surprises according to the host family’s taste.
Magluba(“upside down” in Arabic): Vegetables and meat (chicken) are cooked on the bottom of the pot, with a layer of rice above them to absorb the flavors from below. The pot is turned upside down on a round tray when served, creating a mountain of rice with the meat and vegetables on top.
include libbe (bread baked inside the fire embers and hot sand) or fresh pita bread straight from the saj with labaneh or afik (dried goat cheese), tahina, fresh vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, olive oil and za’atar.
