Judaean Desert - מִדְבַּר יְהוּדָה

Explored on : www.flickr.com/explore/2023/02/07

 

The Judean Desert, or the Judean Wilderness as it is has been known throughout history, is one of the world's smallest, yet most unique desert regions.

The Judaean Desert lies east of Jerusalem and descends to the Dead Sea. Major urban areas in the region include Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the Gush Etzion, Jericho and Hebron.

The desolate beauty of the Judean Desert is breathtaking.

The desert is home to some of Israel's must-see attractions: Masada, the Dead Sea, Qumran Caves, Tel Arad, Ein Gedi, Mar Saba Monastery and St. George Monastery.
