From this vantage point, the geological might of the Syrian-African Rift is on full display, showcasing a sweeping view of the undulating landscape that descends towards the Dead Sea. The terrain here is a testament to the tectonic forces at play, with layers of sedimentary rock standing in sharp contrast to the shimmering blue of the water body below. This region, deeply sculpted by geological time, is a vivid reminder of the active rift that continues to shape the land and impact the ecology of the Dead Sea area.

Your day hike along the Bokek Stream promises to be enriching and exciting.

Along the way, you'll encounter stunning landscapes and learn many stories, including the region's geological past. This journey offers insights into human activities and natural phenomena, such as the Syrian-African Rift, which led to the formation of the Dead Sea Valley.

As the sun sets behind the mountains in the evening, you'll descend into the Dead Sea Valley. This part of the route is awe-inspiring due to its dramatic elevation drop of about four hundred meters. The view from the observation deck is breathtaking, especially during twilight.
