Cycling Route

Details
115.34 km

On Tuesday, the Plus group will take a short bus ride to the start at Yerucham park. We start by traversing the "Great Crater," a geological formation only found in Israel. We ride past the colored sands park and across the desert. After riding through high desert, we descend all the way to the Dead Sea. Don't be intimidated by the distance, the last 25 kilometers (15 miles) is a beautiful descent with spectacular views to the lowest place on Earth. Cold beers will await as we ride to our hotel.
