In mid-August one Saturday, we took a day trip out of Jerusalem. We headed west until we reached the bottom of the Judean Hills, then south past Beersheeva to the Negev Desert. We stopped at Sde Boker by the canyon known as Ein Avdat. After that we went further south to the Ramon Crater, the Negev Mountains, and then finally started heading back north along Highway 90 on the eastern edge of Israel. Highway 90 brings you past the Dead Sea to Jericho where you turn back west to go up to Jerusalem.

This little Ibyx walked right up to us. I have it on a video if it uploads.
The highly concentrated water known Biblically as the Salt Sea (the Dead Sea).
A series of Dead Sea Hotels and Spas known as Ein Boqet.
With the sun setting in the west you had a perfect reflection of the mountains in the Dead Sea.
