Also known as Gobi or gravel desert, it is a surface morphology in extremely arid or semi-arid regions characterized by vast bare rock plains scattered with gravel and sand. Usually formed under strong weathering and erosion, especially in areas lacking vegetation cover and unable to resist wind and water erosion. The soil is extremely poor and has poor water retention capacity, resulting in sparse vegetation and fragile ecosystems. In such an environment, only some extremely drought tolerant plants and animals can survive, such as certain cacti, succulents, and reptiles. Despite the seemingly harsh environmental conditions, it still possesses unique natural beauty.

It is a natural landscape shaped by extreme arid climate, characterized by scarce precipitation, high evaporation rate, sparse vegetation, and poor soil. Distributed worldwide, from tropical to temperate regions, including the Sahara Desert, Arabian Desert, Gobi Desert, and the Great Sandy Desert in Australia. The formation is usually related to geographical location, climatic conditions, and geological history. In tropical regions, deserts are often formed due to the influence of high-pressure zones, while in temperate regions, it may be due to terrain blocking the entry of moisture. The earth's surface is often composed of sand, gravel, or saline alkali land, forming different landforms such as sand dunes, gravel deserts, or salt deserts under the action of wind.

Located in southern Israel, it is a region with a long history and full of mystery. This desert covers a vast area extending from southern Jerusalem to the Dead Sea and Jordan Valley, renowned for its dry climate, rugged terrain, and deep canyons. Not only is it a treasure trove of natural landscapes, but it is also an important place for religion and history. There are abundant archaeological sites, including ancient fortresses, monasteries, and caves, some of which are closely related to biblical stories. It is said that Moses received the Ten Commandments here, while Jesus Christ conducted his 40 day fasting and trial in this desert.

Camels have a high economic value. Camel milk can be processed such as yogurt, butter, white oil, cheese, milk drinks and other dairy products; camel dung is one of the herdsmen heating fuel. Camels are also an important means of transportation in the desert. People regard them as ships crossing the sea of the desert and have the reputation of "ship of the desert.
