Negev Desert, a vast area dotted with mysterious craters. In the east, a small part of Israel borders on the
Dead Sea. Not only is this the saltiest body of water in the world, but at over 400 metres below sea level, it is also the lowest point of elevation on the world’s surface. In the north you will find areas of beautiful rolling hills and valleys covered in dense greenery. This area, known as the
Galilee region is the biggest producer of
Israeli wine.
