The name of the stream is derived from a thorny plant that grows along its banks. The creek drains the Mount Scopus and the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem to the Dead Sea. It begins at a ridge of about 800 meters above sea level and ends at a low point about 400 meters below sea level. The beautiful sunset in the hours of dusk leads people here to seclusion and genome from the desert spirit.
A beautiful day trip in the Judean Desert starts in the monastery of Euthymius the Great. It leads us to the water source of Ein Mabuah in the Prat creek, where a spectacular overlook to Wadi Qelt is open. Afterward, it takes us to the Good Samaritan museum with the magnificent mosaic collection, paves the steps to the St. Georgius Monastery in Faran creek, and ends in Nabi Musa - place where Moses was buried by Muslims tradition.
