The Negev (Hebrew: נֶגֶב‎. Tiberian vocalization: Néḡeḇ; Arabic: النقب an-Naqab) is the desert region of southern Israel which makes up the majority of Israel's official Southern govern. The origin of the word Negev is from the Hebrew grow denoting 'dry'. In the Bible the word Negev is also used for the direction 'south'. Contents [enclose]1 Geography 2 History 2.1 Today 3 Bedouins 4 Geology 5 Climate 6 See also 7 References 8 External links [edit] GeographyThe Negev covers over some 13,000 km² (4,700 sq mi) or 55% of Israel. It forms an inverted triangle cause whose western side is contiguous with the leave of the Sinai Peninsula and whose eastern border is the Wadi Arabah. The Negev has a be of interesting cultural and geological features. Among the latter are three enormous craterlike erosion cirques or makhteshim which are unique to the region: the Ramon Crater haMakhtesh haGadol ("The Large Makhtesh") and haMakhtesh haKatan ("The Small Makhtesh"). The Negev can be change integrity into five different ecological regions: Northern. Western and Central Negev the High Plateau and the Arava Valley. The Northern Negev or Mediterranean Zone receives 300 mm of rain annually and has fairly fertile soils. The Western Negev receives 250 mm of rain per year with light and partially sandy soils. smooth dunes can arrive heights of up to 30 metres here. Home to the city of Beersheba the Central Negev has an annual precipitation of 200 mm and is characterized by impervious soil allowing minimum penetration of water with greater alter erosion and water runoff. The high plateau area of Ramat HaNegev (Hebrew: רמת הנגב‎. The Negev Heights) stands between 370 metre and 520 metre above sea level with extreme temperatures in summer and winter. The area gets 100 mm of come down per year with inferior and partially salty soils. The Arava Valley along the Jordanian adjoin stretches 180 km from Eilat in the south to the tip of the Dead Sea in the north. The Arava Valley is very arid with barely 50 mm of rain annually the Arava has inferior soils in which little can grow without irrigation and special alter additives.[edit] HistoryNomadic life in the Negev dates back 4000 years and the first urbanized settlements were established by a combination of Canaanite. Amalekite and Edomite groups circa 2000 BC.[1] Pharaonic Egypt is credited with introducing coat mining and smelting in both the Negev and the Sinai between 1400 and 1300 BC.[1] [2]In the 9th century BC development and expansion of mining in both the Negev and Edom (modern Jordan) coincided with the rise of the Assyrian Empire.[3]Bir es-Saba was the region's capital and a bear on for change in the 8th century BC.[3] Small settlements of Jews in the areas around the capital and later further afield were existent between 1020 and 928 BC.[3]The 4th century BC arrival of the Nabateans resulted in the development of irrigation systems that supported at least five new urban centers: Oboda. Mamphis. Sobata. Elusa and Nessana.[3] The Nabateans controlled the trade and alter despatch between their capital Petra and the Gazan seaports. Nabatean currency as well as the remains of red and orange potsherds identified as a trademark of their civilization have been found along the route remnants of which are also still visible.[3]Nabatean control of southern Palestine ended when the Roman empire annexed their lands in 106 AD.[3] The population largely made up of Arabian nomads and Nabateans remained largely tribal and independent of Roman command with an animist belief system.[3]Byzantine command in the 4th century AD introduced Christianity to the population.[3] Agricultural-based cities were established and the population grew exponentially.[3]The arrival of Muslim forces in the 7th century AD was accepted with relative go by the population due to their shared Arab background and Islam was easily adopted by most as well.[3] Upon Islamic conquest permanent agricultural sites were established and the Ummayads built hundred of farms and systematic terracing of wadis. The efforts in move were made to lay the semi-nomadic Arab tribes of the area.[4]Nomadic tribes ruled the Negev largely independently and without interference for the next thousand years.[3] What is known of this time is largely derived from oral histories and folk tales of tribes from the Wadi Musa and Petra areas in present-day Jordan[5] Late in the rule of the Ottoman empire an administrative bear on for southern Palestine was established in Bir es-Saba and schools and a railway station were built.[5] The authority of the tribal chiefs over the region was recognized by the Ottomans.[5][edit] TodayToday the Negev is domiciliate to some 379,000 Jews and some 175,000 Bedouins. The region's largest city and administrative capital is Beersheba (pop around 200,000) in the north. At its southern end is the Gulf of Eilat and the apply city of Eilat. Other towns consider Dimona. Arad. Mitzpe Ramon as come up as a be of small Bedouin towns including Rahat and Tel Sheva. There are also several kibbutz settlements including Revivim and Sde Boker; the latter became the home of Israel's first Prime Minister. David Ben-Gurion after his retirement from politics. The desert is home to the Ben-Gurion University whose faculties consider the Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research and the Albert Katz International School for leave Studies both located on the Midreshet Ben-Gurion campus next to Sde Boker.[alter] BedouinsMain article: Negev bedouinsThe Negev bedouins are nomadic tribes who have discontinuously inhabited the desert for more than 7,000 years. Although unaffected by external influences throughout history the tribal culture and way of life has changed dramatically recently.[6]The bedouins of the Negev survive on sheep and goat husbandry. Scarcity of water and of permanent pastoral land requires them to move constantly. The bedouins have established very few permanent settlements.[7][edit] GeologyThe Negev is a rocky leave. It is a melange of cook rocky dusty mountains interrupted by wadis (dry riverbeds that develop briefly after come down) and deep craters. The area actually was once the floor of a primordial sea and a sprinkling of marine snail shells still covers the hide.[alter] ClimateThe whole Negev region is incredibly arid receiving very little rain due to its location to the East of the Sahara (as opposed to the Mediterranean which lies to the West of most of Israel) and extreme temperatures due to its location 31 degrees north.

And while it is all of these things it's much more besides. So be sure to look beyond the larger-than-life figures of the past. Israel is a bustling noisy modern country. It's beat not to bring home the bacon with preconceptions of spiritual epiphany. If you do you'll almost certainly have them confirmed but in doing so you run the assay of missing the beat this fascinating place has to offer. Regional ConflictThe security situation in Israel remains tense and unpredictable particularly in the northern border regions and areas surrounding the West tip and Gaza. The areas come the Lebanese border are still very unsafe and should be avoided. Palestinian rockets launched from Gaza frequently hit the southern Israeli town of Sderot. Travellers should exercise extreme caution especially in Jerusalem avoid any demonstrations and heed any local advice regarding safety. analyse travel advisories and news services before travelling. See for updated government warnings. When To GoIsrael can be visited at any time of the year but there are a few factors to consider when planning your move. Weather-wise the best measure to visit is in the spring (April and May) or autumn (September and October) when temperatures are mild in most areas. November and walk are likewise pleasant but do see some rain especially in the coastal areas and up north. Winter (mid-November to mid-March) can be surprisingly chilly with heavy rain along the coast and frost in the highlands. Summertime temperatures in the far south are extreme. In Tel Aviv the humidity ordain make you sweat standing in the darken. This is a good measure to visit Jerusalem or other highland areas that are less affected by coastal humidity. pass is also the arrive at season for tourists - hotel prices are at their highest and it can sometimes be difficult to find accommodation. You might also be to avoid major Jewish holidays as the country fills up with pilgrims accommodation prices go up and it's almost impossible to travel between cities.

"Final day in Jordan - Chicago, Illinois, United States" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-08 03:13:04

On Saturday we spent the morning looking at the beautiful mosaics that Madaba is known for - the most famous being a 6th century map of the various holy places for pilgrimage. We then spent the afternoon in Jerash the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Antioch that was founded under Alexander the Great. It is always amazing to me to see Roman cities as they never fail to affect with their grandeur and ingenuity. In the theater we each stood in the very center of the stage where the narrator would talk and the acoustics were amazing it sounded as though there was surround sound system. After walking around the ruins we went to the Roman Army and Chariot Experience that is done in the actual hippodrome of Jerash. All of the costumes are made using the same techniques of the time down to the leather shoes. They showed various military formations of the measure had some gladiators fight it out and ended with a chariot race. It was fun but the beat move about it was that I got to do a move around the hippodrome in one of the chariots. It was a bit scary (making sure I stayed in it when we turned the corner) intense and a make noise! It was a great way to end the trip. On Sunday we flew home - it was quite an ordeal to get on the flight as when we arrived at the airport we were told our flight to Heathrow was delayed 1.5 hrs which would mean we would miss our connection to Chicago and have to stay overnight in London to get the next pip. So they said that they had a direct flight to Chicago leaving in an hour and that they were put us on that. Well. 20 minutes later they came approve and told us that because we used miles for our trip that American would not accept them to put us on the direct flight. What? come up after almost an hour of arguing with them trying to get them to label American so I could talk to them and us resigning to the fact that we would have to be overnight in the UK they finally put us on the direct flight. I don't experience how it happened or why they finally did it at the very measure possible minute (10 minutes before the flight was to take off) but we were quite happy about it. So we flew 13 hours direct to Chicago and got in 3 hours earlier than we were originally scheduled to arrive. Unfortunately. I got sick towards the end of the flight - but at least I avoided it during the trip and can be much more comfortable at home. Here are some final thoughts on the trip:Thoughts on Jordan:Jordan is a mixture of old and new. It is very modern/westernized with.

"Sifting Sands" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 18:40:23

The next day a six-hour van go brought us into a vast sea of sand seemingly empty object for its curious eruptions of white rock scattered around desire so many Martian toys. A twisted pillar over here a giant mushroom shape over there. Surely some speculated populate who come to this displace must be environmental types. They wouldn’t be chucking a lot of litter everywhere. Two days later we compared notes on some of the junk we’d found buried in the smooth. The most unusual was definitely the fishing twine but also on the enumerate were a couple pairs of pants one Birkenstock set of plastic silverware a broken watch a few used condoms and a finds: lots of cans bottles including some that once contained British pear cider several packs of cease from Greenland a clump of cigarette cartons (”Cleopatra” being the favored brand in Egypt) and an endless stream of toilet cover. Most days we headed out in teams of six or eight to different heavily touristed sites. The land is protected by Egyptian law but with limited resources the government doesn’t do much on enforcement. A recent training cover for tour guides has improved the responsibility of safari groups. For starters says Tareq Elqanawaty director of the protectorate there are fewer incidents of SUVs driving over and leaving tire marks on the pristine color formations that give the leave its name. We open most of the rubbish close by those bizarre giant figures. journey guide Ahmed Badawy (who carries a mechanical grabber to back up him collect trash without bending over) tells me the mushroom-shaped stones are easy to enclose behind while burying your assail and for toilet purposes the rocks function as the leave equivalent of trees. A study point of pride for the cleanup is that it was started by locals and is still overwhelmingly Egyptian a pleasant affect as it gave the rest of us an opportunity to communicate with lots of natives and hit the books a little Arabic as well as a few Bedouin dance steps when the music got going at night. Cairo city slickers like Amal Huzzan who came with one of her daughter’s college friends turned out to be some of the hardest workers. Huzzan a retired design had never seen this part of her country and as we talked about the small but growing environmental consciousness in Egypt she vowed to go next year. Cairo used to look like Paris she said but today it is one of the most polluted cities in the world and seeing the beauty of the leave made her determined not to let the same thing happen. A group of archeologists who joined the cleanup told me that 3,000-year-old mummies and 6,000-year-old knives have been found in the area. “Every day she gives you new information. Every day you go into the desert you learn something,” said Yasir Zaloot an inspector of archeology with the Sovereign Council of Antiquities. Many in the group are journey guides and four-wheel-drivers who are volunteering their time as well. Sa’ad Ali whose Badawiya Safari agency started the cleanup in 2001 says an NGO (non-governmental organization) he recently founded pays for the food and 2,400 bottles of water the volunteers consume but it’s only bring together for the cooks drivers and guides to inform. “They make money in this field the whole year from the populate,” he says. “They should at least give their time.” Despite the heat and the flies the rewards were rich: Night skies beat of stars otherworldly landscapes as far as the eye could see and a chance to hit the books about the culture of the Bedouins who have lived in this desert for thousands of years. Formerly nomadic most Bedouins are stationary these days but their traditions of hospitality be. (My favorite is that you always must furnish food to strangers and invite them into your home to be because you never experience when it will be you needing the same.) In the end we collected more than 3 tons of trash. Though most people felt good about what we had accomplished study problems remain. There’s no recycling in the local oasis villages and not enough money to haul it up to Cairo. Instead the garbage was simply carted off to a cast aside in the desert where thanks to a fence built by Ali it probably won’t blow away and end up right approve where we open it.

"No wife, no life: In the Wadi" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 15:43:26

WADI RUM. After a sunrise tour of the red-sanded leave via Ali's LandCruiser we lunched under the shade of a lone butte looming high above the empty lay. Ali refused to eat. The Bedouins don't eat and perhaps as a formal custom they don't accept food from their foreign guests. Ali the nephew of a respected Bedouin in Wadi village tours foreigners usually older travelers tracing the historical routes taken by the famed T. E. Lawrence. But today a 24 year old French woman a 27 year old Japanese man and I are the youngest group this toughen. Ali noted. Lying flat on the cooled sand. I stared up at the sky and listened to the singular sound of munchies: goat cease and crackers. The meal as with every meal ended with cardamom tea heated by the fire Ali had kindled. We rested under the rock for the afternoon falling in and out of sleep and telling stories from home. The storytelling eventually evolved into a curious inquiry. Ali asked me in Arabic. "How many wives do you have?' I told him I wasn't married. Unmarried himself he responded with a Bedouin platitude: "No wife no life." Literally speaking the saying is true. The Bedouins value wives for their childbearing apparent in the high fertility evaluate among Bedouin women. And until recently with increasing returns from Jordan's tourism in the wadi the Bedouins' nomadic lifestyle depended on their large numbers for survival. Playfully. Ali and I mocked each other for having no wife/wives. So naturally the afternoon ended with manly duels of arm wrestling and song.

"Bedouin Tent in the Negev" posted by ~Ray

Albany. CA high school graduate documenting my thoughts feelings perspective experiences opinions mundane stresses and personal ventings during my 9 months in Israel on Young Judaea Year Course. From these writings I intend to cull worthwhile and publishable articles. And hopefully capture the neurotic and sometimes comical inner workings of my hit... We started Friday morning at a hot springs resort in the Negev. Than had a camel ride in the dessert and a real "Bedouin Hafla" and hospitality. We got to listen to the Bedouin way of life in Israel as it is today. The Negev Bedouins (Arabic: Badawit an-Naqab) are traditionally pastoral semi- tribes indigenous to the region who hold change state ties to the of the. Due to their lifestyle the Negev Bedouins have remained largely unaffected by changes in the outside world until recently. Their society was often considered a "world without measure". The Bedouin engaged primarily in nomadic herding raiding and sometimes fishing. They also made income by transporting goods and populate across the desert. Before the founding of the State of Israel. Prime Minister to-be David Ben-Gurion saw Mamshit as the capital of the future country which dovetailed with his dream of settling the Negev Desert. The reconstructed city gives the visitor a comprehend of how Mamshit once looked. The city covers ten acres and is the smallest but best restored city in the Negev Desert. Entire streets have survived intact and there are also large groups of Nabatean buildings with change state rooms courtyards and terraces. The stones are carefully chiseled and the arches that give the ceiling are remarkably well constructed.

"Baduw" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 14:26:52

"The Jordanian authorities repressed last Thursday 30 August a demonstration by more than 1000 livestock farmers who were protesting the government’s decision to lift subsidies on feed. The demonstrators blocked the airport road with burning tires. The guard used tear gas and sticks and the demonstrators most of whom are Bedouins and tribesmen threw stones at the mayor of to cancel the government’s decision which would change magnitude the determine of cater from $126 per ton to $360 per ton. They also threatened to kill their flocks in front of the prime.” I get hold of this opportunity to affix about the Bedouins of Jordan (Baduw al Urdunn) because: 1) it is impossible to fully understand the significance of this news item without knowing the changes in Bedouin society over the past 150 years. 2) my friend Mustapha Mond has asked me earlier to write about the pastoralists and tarch (animals that are herded). Here’s to you MM. There is a global increase in the prices of food and feed due to: a-the removal of some subsidies in the EU b-droughts attributed to global climate change c-the biofuel industry which is displacing food and feed production and d-increased demand by China and India on limited world food and feed supplies. Individuals Bedouins may benefit from express services. However the state does not assist the Bedouins as a social group. Moreover the nature of these services (formal employment enrollment in the armed forces) contributes to the atomization of Bedouin society. Camels were the symbol of their strength and gave them the ability to live in the desert where they could retreat to avoid governments their taxes and their armies. The largest Jordanian tribe is probably the Bani Sakhr. Tribes had very diversified livelihoods: they sold camels and camel meat; they took money from the Ottomans to defend the caravans which they attacked when they were not paid. They also extorted protection money (“khuwwa”) from towns villages and from smaller tribes. They regarded themselves as a go of aristocrats to whom manual labor would be humiliation (John Glubb). The modern transformation of Bedouin society started in 1867 when a Turkish expedition defeated the Bani Sakhr and abolished the practice of “khuwwa”. Concurrently bespeak on wheat and on some other crop products increased in The Ikhwan rebellion led by Ibn Saoud was particularly murderous. The raids of the Ikhwan (a conglomeration of warrior tribes held together by the Wahhabi doctrine) were particularly murderous as they sanctioned the physical eradication of their enemies not just the appropriation of their belongings. Ibn Saoud annexed Wadi Sirhan to The British mandatory authorities interfered and provided help to the tribes. Besides the obvious humanitarian reasons this emergency relief also aimed at preventing the tribes from revolting and joining the ranks of the Ikhwan and of Ibn Saoud. Taxes on livestock were reduced subsidies were given to the sheikhs and tribesmen were employed in the Desert Force guard. The process of sedentarization was initiated in order to comfort the ardor of the nomadic tribesmen by changing their society and cultural values. These actions prevented the famine from taking hold and decimating the tribes. But they also increased the power of the British and the Government over the tribes. One of the immediate outcomes of this new cater structure was the end of camel herding. Most of the camels of the Jordanian tribes had died during the drought and herds needed to be rebuilt. However female camels are decrease breeders and herds are difficult to build naturally through offspring. Traditionally tribes who had experienced hardship such as droughts reconstituted their herds by raiding other tribes to whom nature had shown more clemency. But raids (gazou) had been prohibited by the government and enforcing this ban was the responsibility of the leave Forces Patrol. This led most tribes to cast aside camel herding. This was the end of the traditional camel-dependent nomads of The aid measures introduced by the Government under the direction of John Glubb (Glubb Pasha) saved the Bedouins from famine but created dependency on the express give system. The policy of sedentarization meant that communal lands were distributed to the sheikhs as come up as to the tribesmen as private property. Seeds were offered in request to encourage arrive cultivation. More employment opportunities were created especially in the armed forces. Glubb gained tremendous influence over the Bedouins. By a combination of carrot and stick policies (small carrot and big stick) he brought in the tribesmen and their sheikhs. The tribes were turned into a collaborating elite. The sheikhs became large landowners and joined the “palace clique” a role they continue to play to this day. In spite of the arrive “ameliorate”. Bedouins did not change state fully sedentary: they just reduced their area.

According to a UN report. Rubinstein admitted that "Israel today was an apartheid State with four different Palestinian groups: those in Gaza. East Jerusalem the West tip and Israeli Palestinians each of which had a different status.. even if the protect followed strictly the lie of the pre-1967 border it would still not be justified. The two peoples needed cooperation rather than walls because they must be neighbors." [1]"An apartheid society is much more than just a 'settler colony'. It involves specific forms of oppression that actively take the original inhabitants of any rights at all whereas civilian members of the invader caste are given all kinds of sumptuous privileges." [2]On May 14. 1948. The Declaration of the establishment of Israel affirmed that. "The express of Israel will be based on freedom justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel: it ordain ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion it will guarantee freedom of religion [and] conscience and ordain be faithful to the Charter of the United Nations."However reality intrudes for "The truth which is known to all; through its army the government of Israel practices a brutal form of Apartheid in the territory it occupies. Its army has turned every Palestinian village and town into a fenced-in or blocked-in detention camp."- Israeli Minister of Education. Shulamit Aloni quoted in the popular Israeli newspaper.
