Paragliding at the Metsoke Dragot Base

The Flying Experience

Sandy rocky cliffs along the dead sea,

The take off is close to 0m altitude. Sounds funny right! But the deadsea is 400m under sea level, so it works out beautifully.

What is exciting about this place?

Is it beginner friendly?

This is is not a beginner site, shallow slope, cliff launch, rocky, lines get caught.

What are the local regulations?

No regulations, no registrations, no license requirements. Just remember that there are important airspace limitations, which change frequently, and it is best to ask local XC pilots advice for this, especially if you would like to fly outside of the weekends.
