Search flights from HFA to ETH
Judean Mountains
Dramatic limestone ridges and valleys leading towards the desert landscape.
The Dead Sea
Shimmering turquoise waters and white salt deposits visible along the shoreline.
Masada National Park
The historic desert fortress perched on a massive isolated rock plateau.
Mountains of Edom
The majestic, deep-red mountain range across the border in Jordan.
Arava Valley
The long, narrow rift valley stretching toward the Red Sea with agricultural settlements.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the Dead Sea and Masada. Look out about 20-25 minutes after takeoff from Haifa to catch the transition from green hills to desert crags. The contrast between the blue water and the beige desert is most striking in the winter months.

Mediterranean Coastline
Aerial views of the sandy beaches and blue water departing from Haifa.
Tel Aviv Skyline
Distal views of Israel's central urban hub and its high-rise skyscrapers.
Makhtesh Ramon
The world's largest erosion crater, showcasing millions of years of geological history.
Negev Highlands

Sit on the right for late afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset over the Mediterranean. The absolute highlight is the Makhtesh Ramon; it appears as a giant heart-shaped crater in the desert floor. Ensure your window is clean as the desert haze can sometimes obscure the finer details of the crater's colorful rock layers.
