Lying east of Jerusalem and descending to the Dead Sea, the Judean Desert is relatively small at just over 900 square miles. It's full of breathtaking views, and has an incredible history that in turn has shaped the cultural history of mankind, and given birth to the religions of Judaism and Christianity. Major urban areas such as Bethlehem and Jericho are included in this area, making it one of the more populated deserts?
