Meeting point

A journey between sinkholes and faults A journey through the wonders of geology at the Dead Sea

We will begin with a brief visit to the Qasr al-Yahud baptism site, and from there we will travel to the mouth of the Arrugot Stream, visit what was once Ein Gedi Beach, and walk along the shores of the Dead Sea.

During the walk, we will encounter various spectacular phenomena:

  • Sinkholes.
  • "Pearls.".
  • "Diamonds.".
  • Stalactites and more.

We will talk about the formation of the Syrian-African rift (what else?) that is responsible for the formation of the Dead Sea. We will discuss the drop in water level and the process of sinkhole formation, as well as initiatives to remedy the situation. The route is 6-8 km long.
