Rashayida to Dead Sea Viewpoint
This sub-segment begins at the Bedouin Tent of “Abu Ismael”, which is located in ‘Arab ar-Rashayida. The hike takes you on a magical tour, to enjoy the distinctive natural beauty of the wilderness of Jerusalem. When you arrive at the end of the segment, you will stand in front of the flawless sight of the Dead Sea, with its radiating blue water, surrounded by the Palestinian and Jordanian Valley mountains on each side. A breathtaking view, transformed into an image, which will be etched in your memory forever. What makes this experience even more unique, is the taste of enjoyable coffee or tea prepared in a traditional Bedouin style.
