    Pangea

    Grab a kebab or steak at Pangea. It is a reliable spot for hearty fare, though the menu is in Hebrew. Arrive early to secure a table before the evening rush.

    Har Gamal Viewpoint

    Walk 31 minutes SSW to Har Gamal Viewpoint. This is the prime spot for the golden hour and sunset. The view looks west, directly toward the setting sun. Bring a jacket as the desert cools quickly after dark.
