The drive down to Eilat from Jerusalem is spectacular. The dead sea gives way to ten thousand different kinds of desert, and you can see the mountains of Jordan in the distance. After a certain point, all that grows is Acacia trees, and there are stretches that look like savanna. The road is also a little dangerous - it twists and turns, can get washed out in wadis, and is, most significantly, frequented by Israeli drivers.
