History
“Generally speaking, it is a love story.
A young man living in Arad felt very passionate about his surroundings. He spent much of his time trekking in the area, getting to know the land and its varied plant and animal life. By spending time in the desert he, quite naturally, came
into contact with the Bedouin people. He purely fell in love with their culture and tradition.
Through his time with these indigenous people his knowledge of the desert deepened. He decided to establish Kfar-Hanokdim village, in order that he could share Bedouin hospitality, culture and tradition with others. Therefore, passing on
some of the magic he had tasted from these people and the majestic land they share.” ( quoted from the village’s website).
