Judaean Desert
The Judaean Desert ((ヘブライ語:מִדְבַּר יְהוּדָה) ''Midbar Yehuda'', both ''Desert of Judah'' or ''Judaean Desert''; (アラビア語:صحراء يهودا) ''Sahara Yahudan'') is a desert in Israel and the West Bank that lies east of Jerusalem and descends to the Dead Sea. It stretches from the northeastern Negev to the east of Beit El, and is marked by terraces with escarpments. It ends in a steep escarpment dropping to the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. The Judaean Desert is crossed by numerous wadis from northeast to southeast and has many ravines, most of them deep, from 1,200 feet in the west to 600 feet in the east.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geography and Politics in Israel Since 1967 )〕 The Judaean Desert is an area with a special morphological structure along the east of the Judaean Mountains.
It is sometimes known as ''Yeshimon'', meaning ''desert'' or ''wildland'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Strong's Hebrew: 3452. יְשִׁימוֹן (yeshimon) -- waste, wilderness )〕 or yet ''Wilderness of Judah'' or ''Wilderness of Judaea'', among others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Judean Wilderness )〕
==Location==
The Judaean Desert lies east of Jerusalem and descends to the Dead Sea. Rainfall in the Judaea region varies from in the western hills, rising to around western Jerusalem (in central Judaea), falling back to in eastern Jerusalem and dropping to around 100mm in the eastern parts, due to a rainshadow effect. The climate ranges from Mediterranean in the west and desert climate in the east, with a strip of steppe climate in the middle. Major urban areas in the region include Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the Gush Etzion, Jericho and Hebron.〔(Picturesque Israel I: Jerusalem, Judah, Ephraim )〕
