Rocky Desert of peaks and curves.
One of the smallest desert of the World, the Judean Desert is yet well known for both geological and historical reasons.
A desert of rocks, winding roads, peaks and curves, stretching along the Dead sea.
A very scenic desert of canyons, ravines reaching 350m high and wadis, temporary rivers made by the occasional heavy rains and floodings passing by the region. It also has many natural terraces as well as rounded hills which make great opportunities for an interesting Landscape Photography.
Since long ago, the region had also been chosen by monks as a singular place of retreat. Indeed the Judean Desert host many monasteries still frequented today and among which, some of the most spectacular in the World built on cliffs : St George and Mar Saba.
A very suggestive and meditative landscape indeed for either a spiritual immersion, a touristic discovery or an iconic travel Photography destination.
