Description: Many of our readers here might be acquainted with the Bible story of Lot, Sodoma, and Gomorrah. And especially with the part of the story in which G'd says to Lot that he was going to destroy the cities and Lot should take his family from the place and that, in their way out, they should never look back. Despite the instructions, Lot's wife looked back and was immediately transformed into a Salt sculpture. Well, in the area where the biblical Sodoma and Gomorrah are supposed to have existed, there is a rock formation that reminds the vulture of a woman. In Israel, this rock is called Lot's Wife, and the place has become a touristic stop in the area. The place is a lovely place to take interesting pictures like the one below, showing the rock with the background of the Dead Sea and Jordan at the other side. The place is very near Ein Bokek, 18 Km distance, and is just at the side of the road. Motorcycles can be parked off-road at the place.
