EL AL and the Israel Bike Experience offer special bicycle package tours
Jerusalem – November, 2007: With so much to see in a country of such compact size, Israel may just be the perfect place to hit the road (or off-road) by bike. And now, EL AL is partnering with the Israel Bike Experience to offer active and eco-conscious travelers to Israel weeklong bicycle packages for riders of all abilities.
Travelers can bring their bicycles on board the EL AL flight to Israel (for no extra charge), and then choose between 7-day bicycle tours on either a Northern Central route or a Southern Central route. With the Northern Central package, cyclists begin with a circular route through the hills of the Galilee, then through the Beit Keshet Forest to the city of Nazareth, on to Jerusalem and ending at the Dead Sea. On the Southern Central route, riders embark on a ride through the Negev Desert gorge, to the Dead Sea and Masada, and on to Jerusalem.
Along each route, riders are offered the option of a challenging off-road route for intermediate/advanced cyclists, a popular off-road route for intermediate cyclists, and an on-road route for beginners.
Package prices start at $2,575 per person, and include roundtrip airfare on EL AL from New York (JFK/Newark), 7 nights accommodations based on double occupancy, daily touring and full board.
