In the southern region, options include the Har Kippah overnight parking area (particularly dark and remote), Har Ardon overnight parking, Be'erot parking area, and the Small Crater Observation Point parking area.
In the Central Arava region, the meteor shower peak on Thursday night, August 13, will be marked by a special, comprehensive observation event.
Alon Goldstein and Rotem Regev, senior astronomy guides and Central Arava residents, will lead a viewing celebration of the summer Perseid meteor shower.
The event will take place at a special observation site in the Tzukim area—dark and quiet with a unique desert atmosphere, accessible to any vehicle.
The evening will feature guided stargazing, viewing of distant celestial objects through advanced telescopes, and independent meteor watching.
