Wilderness of Judea

The Judean Wilderness is a stunning expanse of rocky plateaus, characterized by deep wadis and steep cliffs that descend to the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. Located in West Bank, east of Jerusalem, this region is home to the remarkable Judaean Group Aquifer, discovered by researchers at Hebrew University. With rainfall varying from 3.9 inches in the eastern areas to24 inches near western Jerusalem, the landscape supports limited flora and fauna, including rock hyraxes and Nubian ibex. Rich in history, this wilderness steeped in Biblical significance, with notable references to King David and his journey through these rugged terrains.
