Description: The roofed observation plaza affords a good view of the fields of Ein Yahav, the confluence of Nahal Nekarot and Nahal HaArava, Hatzera Ridge and Ma'ale Akrabim (“Scorpions Ascent”) in the west. The Edom Mountains in Jordan rise in the east; Jabel Haroun, where according to tradition Aaron, the brother of Moses, was buried, can be seen among them. There is a panoramic illustrative panel in the scenic outlook.
