After our night in the Beduin tents, we went on a hike through the Negev desert, which covers much of Southern Israel. Wandering through the desert in groups comes very naturally to us Jews. The danger in this area is flash flooding. Before you hike, it is good to check with the equivalent of the parks and recreation department to make sure there is no danger, especially since a lot of the hike is in the river bed where the flood waters flow. There had been a flash flood early in the week so there was standing water, which was cool to see in the middle of the desert.
