You don't have to go far from Jericho to enjoy spectacular nature. Wadi Qelt is within walking distance, and offers an opportunity to walk into a narrow canyon.
A little later, we reached the road leading down to the Greek Orthodox monastery of St. George, built right in the face of the vertical cliffs. Originally built in the 5th century, destroyed by the Persians and abandoned after the expulsion of the Crusaders, the current building dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. After a steep descent into Wadi Qelt, we found the monastery closed, and decided to walk back using the path on the other side. From here, we could clearly see the micro-climate existing right under the aqueduct: a strip of green below the aqueduct, where otherwise the entire wadi was as dry as the moon. We came across what in winter must be a lovely waterfall, falling directly from a higher ridge. Apart from the many birds, we also spotted many medium-sized mammals swiftly jumping over the rocky surface of the steep wadi walls without any problem. Apart from the animals, we saw only two shepherds in the wadi; a great hiking excursion from Jericho. Quite abruptly, the walls of Wadi Qelt opened up and we found ourselves on the plain, and could see the mosque and other high buildings of Jericho.
