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.
When we left Jericho, the sun was not out yet. We had planned to leave early to be back before the heat would set in; as Jericho is the lowest city in the world at 266 metres below sea level, temperatures rise quickly and the heat during the day is difficult to escape. People in town were surprisingly busy already, apparently following the same logic. Moreover, we expected the heat to be even worse inside Wadi Qelt, our destination of the day. We soon left the oldest city in the world, and walked to a small village at the entrance of Wadi Qelt. A shepherd walked to the road from the fields, with his herd of sheep around him; with the rising sun behind him, a beautiful sight.
