Arabah
The Arabah (,
Tiberian: ,
Hebrew Academy: ;
Arabic: وادي عربه ) is a section of the
Great Rift Valley lying between the
Dead Sea to the north and the
Gulf of Aqaba or the
Gulf of Eilat to the south. It forms part of the border between
Israel to the west and
Jordan to the east.The Arabah is 166 km (103 miles) long from the Gulf of Aqaba to the southern shore of the Dead Sea. Topographically, the region is divided into three sections. From the Gulf of Aqaba northward, the land gradually rises for 77 km (48 miles), reaching a height of 230 m (755 feet) above sea level. From this height at the Dead Sea/
Red Sea watershed divide, the land gradually slopes down to a point 15 km south of the Dead Sea. From there, the Arabah drops sharply to meet the Dead Sea, which at 417 m (1373 feet) below sea level is the lowest point on earth.
