It connects the former residence of the first Prime Minister of Israel to his grave overlooking Nahal Tzin and was based on his morning walk. The second and final phase of the project was completed recently, making it accessible to travelers on foot or by bicycle, with benches, drinking fountains, and explanatory signs along the way. The boardwalk was announced by the previous Minister of Tourism as a step towards realizing Ben-Gurion&#8217;s vision for the flourishing of the Negev. The regional council hopes the promenade will attract more visitors while maintaining peace and cleanliness.<\/p>\n<p>The Ben Gurion Promenade is located in the desert area of Sde Boker in Israel. It offers breathtaking views of the Nahal Zin, the Zin Valley, and the Zinin Cliff. Travelers can enjoy a scenic walking route along the cliff, which was the path of Ben Gurion&#8217;s morning walk. The area is filled with rugged and dramatic landscapes, characterized by cliffs, canyons, and unique rock formations. Along the route, there are several shady corners, benches, and drinking fountains, making it a comfortable place to rest and take in the views. The promenade is designed to pay respect to the legacy of David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, and the area is known for its historical significance and natural beauty.<\/p>\n<p>The temperatures in Sde Boker, where the Ben Gurion Promenade is located, can vary throughout the year. Summers can be very hot and dry, with temperatures often exceeding 35\u00b0C (95\u00b0F) in July and August, and occasionally reaching 40\u00b0C (104\u00b0F) or more. Winters are generally mild, with daytime temperatures ranging from 16\u00b0C (60\u00b0F) to 20\u00b0C (68\u00b0F) and cooler nighttime temperatures that can drop to around 5\u00b0C (41\u00b0F) or lower. Spring and fall tend to be the most pleasant times to visit, with mild and comfortable temperatures during the day and cool temperatures at night. However, visitors should always come prepared for changes in temperature and weather conditions, especially if planning to hike or spend extended periods outdoors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ben Gurion Promenade, a 3.5 km long path in Israel, has been inaugurated.
