Crossing the Judea Desert, Israel

Sep 1, 2005
By:Roni Mandelbaum

At the dawn of a new Millennium, it felt just right to explore again the suggestive biblical scenery of Judea Desert Israel. "Locked" between the Judea hills (3000 ft) in the west and the Great African Rift Valley (Dead Sea drop) in the east - this thin strip of biblical land is no ordinary desert. Geography and climate experts identify it as "rain shadowed" desert. What they actually mean is that the rain held in clouds streaming from west (over the Mediterranean sea) will break hitting the Judea mountains, before they could reach the desert. If the temperatures run cold enough, the clouds will either drop snow over Jerusalem or climb so high it will rain over the Mountains of Moab in Jordan to the east. Normally Judea Desert gets less than 150 mm of rain each season - sometimes less - creating a real unforgiving desert.
