Arabah, Desert valley between Negev highlands and Edom Mountains, Israel and Jordan.
The Arabah extends 166 kilometers from the Gulf of Aqaba to the Dead Sea, reaching heights of 230 meters above sea level in its central section.
The region contained substantial copper mining operations during the Bronze and Iron Ages, with extensive evidence of ancient metallurgical activities throughout the valley.
The valley serves as a natural border between Israel and Jordan, marked by the 1994 Peace Treaty that established cooperation zones for agricultural development.
Modern agricultural techniques and water management systems enable farmers in the region to produce substantial amounts of fruits and vegetables for export markets.
The desert valley houses multiple bird sanctuaries where sand partridges, common cranes, and black-winged stilts rest during their migration patterns.
