Negev

Went on a 2 day hiking trip in the Negev, the Negev is the southern half of the state. I was in the Judean Desert about 2 hours south of Jerusalem. We stayed in a hostel in Arad, this small city in the desert for the night. The desert out here is not the rolling sand dunes that you see in the "Lawrence of Arabia" Movie. Rather its a much more rocky desert. Rather it reminded me of a mix between Utah and how I imagine the planet Mars.
