Driving Kvish 10 ("Highway 10") - Israel's Road On The Egyptian Border

Date: 2022-08-26

Kvish 10 ("Highway 10") is one of the most scenic roads in Israel although these days it remains accessible to civilians only on specific calendar days in the year, usually amounting to only around 10 (and only during daylight hours). 

This year, we availed of one such open  day to drive the stretch of road from its intersection with Road 171 (Tzomet Sayarim) through to its exit before Nitzana. 

At various points along the route, there are incredible views over Egyptian-controlled Northern Sinai as well as the arid part of Israel that abuts the same border. The border fence - now 7 meters tall - is also immediately next to the road for much of its course. Israel fortified the fence in order to prevent human trafficking and drug smuggling. 

The road is somewhat small and in relatively poor condition in parts. Egyptian border guardposts can be seen positioned at regular intervals across the other side of the Israel-Egypt border fence which the road hugs and there are several lookout points along the way.

For information concerning when Road 10 is open to civilian traffic, please Google כביש 10 and call the army to confirm.
