Sdom - En Hasba (Ein Husb)
An ancient caravan route, 42 kilometres long, rising from Sdom on the southern shore of the Dead Sea (395 metres below sea level). Recent investigations go to show that in ancient times the Arava was covered with trees, so that agricultural development is possible following amelioration and irrigation of the soil. The marks of sharp erosion on the while hills along the route show the effect of water, wind and fluctuations in daily temperature.
