Safety
The reserve stops admitting visitors before its listed closing time, and closes the long trail earlier still. Wild boar and porcupines live in the cliffs and the reserve. The data sources do not confirm whether rappelling is allowed in the reserve, so check with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority before planning a rope activity.
