What are the most spectacular roads in Israel?
Located in the western part of Asia, Israel is located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. With an area of 20,770 km2 (8,019 sq mi), the country shares borders with 4 countries: Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. Due to its special geography, with desert conditions in the south and snow-capped mountains in the north, the country provides endless options to enjoy a road trip.
So, if you’re up for traveling to Israel, don’t miss the chances it offers, because despite being a small country, it’s possible to drive the Dead Sea Highway, the lowest road in the world, located in the western shore of the Dead Sea in Israel's West Bank. But at the same time, it’s possible to drive up to Mount Hermon, a mountain peak at 2.803m (9,196ft) above sea level, in the Golan Heights in the far north of the country. The Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee are significant water bodies, providing freshwater resources to the country.
