Today we started our journey to Jordan. Before crossing the border we had a couple of stops to make. The first stop was the Wilderness of Zin. From where we were standing was the most amazing view of the desert. I've always loved landscape that was lush, bursting with green. So I never thought a desert could be so breath taking. The Wilderness of Zin is about 500 meters above sea level. It was here that the Israelites wandered aimlessly for 40 years.
Our next stop was Timna Park. The park covers over 60 square kms and offers visitors a 'geological window' which reveals fascinating rock formations. We visited a section of the park called Solomon's Pillars. These stone pillars are a natural part of the cliff wall. The pillars are a typical landscape formation which developed as a result of the erosion along the cracks in the hard red sandstone. Our group took to the mountain via a path through the rock. Once at the top we took in the amazing view of the desert.
