The desert scenery, abundance of water and varied vegetation create this unique oasis – the Ein Prat Nature Reserve. You will also find monasteries and archaeological findings – remnants of human activity in different periods.

On a warm and clear late winter day we drove down to the area above Jericho to explore a bit of the landscape punctuated by rare wild flowers and green fuzz from a long wet season. Stopped first at a fine lookout en route to St. George's monastery that hugs the valley wall in Wadi Kelt. Easy to find: on the left side of the road there is a huge cross at the top of a small hill. Park and walk up the hill. The monastery itself is just a bit further down the asphalt path. Park near a stone gate crowned by a cross, enter and start to descend. It will be worth the effort. Open from 9 till 13 daily.

This small and beautiful church is next to the church of nativity. This 19th-century church shares a wall with the Nativity church and remains a working church today. It has a lovely courtyard and is usually less crowded than the church of nativity.

Politics aside, region can be a bit confusing even for locals, let alone for foreign tourists. I wish that tripadvisor would allow to list locations that are under full Israeli control as such so to help tourists get a better understanding of what to expect. Susya is site of an ancient Israelite city, dating back to the time of the second temple in Jerusalem. It is a large archaeological site with many artifacts of buildings and cave dwellings and great ancient synagogue with amazing stone pillars and mosaic floors. As mentioned above it is in Israeli administered areas, the site entrance has a modern visitors center, coffee shop, gift shop and clean restrooms. Add to your must visit list.

We visited this ancient city, which is supposed to be considered 10500 yeras old habite, and oldest city. Besides this it is 13000 feet below sea level. THE RUINS are worth studing for the experts of Archiology.
