Soon I'll be posting tips about a wonderful full day road trip that Martin (Martin_S), his wife Zohara and I took thru the Southern District, including sights like the Big Makhtesh, Mount Sodom and a quick stop at the Dead Sea.
Yep folks, VT got to a new low...as we took this picture at the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth.

Makhtesh = erosion cirque, soft chalk and sandstone are eroded by water, wadi (stream bed) can still be seen. Hard limestone/dolomite collapses forming crater-like valley.
This is definetly one place to put on the list. Sign me up for this road trip :)
this is really a nice part of the world. lived there 6 months myself when i was a young man.
Thank you Mariel for bringing back sweet memories about this very interesting part of Israel!
You are lucky, I tried to see a snake in US for two weeks and did not find one... except those in the zoo ...
