Recommendation:
Atar provided us with a fascinating explanation of the ongoing movement of the African tectonic plates along the Great Rift Valley and their historical impact on the geography of the region. The northern section of the Great rift is actually the Jordan Rift Valley, running from just north of the Dead Sea to Beit Shean and Mount Gilboa, while the Arava desert runs along the border with Jordan from south of the Dead Sea to the southernmost point in Israel; Eilat and the Red Sea.

All in all it was a great experience spending a few days in the desert on a jeep. The sheer thrill of riding in an open jeep and seeing some of the hidden sites only accessible via off road vehicles was truly special. Our driver and guide Atar was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of all the places we visited. Not only was this a fun experience but an educational one as well.

I would highly recommend booking with Atar if you are interested in any type of jeep or hiking tour. He is a licensed tour guide and can offer private tour packages for all ages in any part of the country from Eilat to the Golan Heights and points in-between.
