Shapes and colors in Rajef Mountains   Click to read my Hebrew travel diary

South-west of Petra, in the Edom Mountains, there rise the relict mountains of Rajef. Named after the village lying on the slopes to its east, this rough terrain abounds with unique structures and unimaginable sandstone colors.

The photographs were taken during several treks in Eilat Mountains, the most recent one in January 2010. Click to view the Eilat Mountains gallery...
