HIKING UVDA VALLEY & SHAHARUT CLIFFS IN THE NEGEV DESERT (13th FEBRUARY, 2010).

On behalf of Midrasha Hiking club, we had a 12 km hike through the Valley of Uvda, walking through some unique sites including a beautiful sand dune, a mysterious 9,000 year old temple dedicated to Leopards and  much more ancient pre-historic remains dispersed everywhere. Uvda Valley has over 150 settlement sites dating between 10,000 and 6,000 years ago throughout the valley.  The region also is considered to be the oldest agricultural land in the history of mankind. Although, today you find the valley part of a harsh desert, ancient remains from past throw light into the once highly fertile strip. More from the photographs appended...
