Jordan / Yardan River

At approximately 100 feet wide and 200 miles long, the Jordan River is Israel's largest fresh water supplier. Added to its importance as Israel's foremost water source, the Jordan River also nurtures some of Israel's most beautiful nature resorts. A enchanting tourist destination, the Jordan River is a sight not to be missed on any tour to Israel.

As is the case with many arterial rivers worldwide to which cities, resorts and communities have flocked due to the lush vegetation and transportation facilities provided along the river banks, the Jordan River is home to various communities of people and wildlife.

Beginning at the feet of Mount Hermon and flowing south through Lake Hula, the Jordan River drains into the Jordan Valley creating a tropical basin which has become Israel's primary trekking and hiking destination. The Jordan River then continues downward to the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret), along which the bustling city of Tiberias rests, and terminates at the Dead Sea.

With the city of Tiberias beside the Sea of Galilee , the Banias nature resort by Mount Hermon , and the Dead Sea at its southernmost point, the Jordan River is a travelers paradise and a must-see destination for anyone on a tour to Israel.
