Geography

During winter, you can find people skiing snowed capped Mount Hermon in the North, while others sunbathe in the Southern desert town of Eilat.
Along the length of the country lie three differentiated zones. To the west is the coastal zone and its 170 km of sandy beaches. In the middle lie the central hills, and to the East lies the Jordan Rift Valley, part of the Great African Rift Valley. The river Jordan runs down this valley, collecting in two remarkable places, the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea.
