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.
We followed the road, which led us higher, so we had a good view over the canyon of Wadi Qelt. At this left side of the canyon, we saw an aqueduct, which transports water through the wadi. On the other side, a path followed the rugged terrain and led into the wadi as well. Our road continued climbing, and soon we felt we were completely alone in this desolate desert landscape of dry, stoney terrain. Then, suddenly, on our left we saw several settlements on hilltops at a distance, further away, a larger town. It is not unlikely that these were some of the illegal settlements Israelis have been and are still establishing on Palestinian soil. The road returned to the wadi proper, and below us, we saw the narrow riverbed, surrounded by high, vertical walls of rock. At one place, we saw some men on the other side of the wadi, and a small religious building built in the rockface.
