Qelet Valley. . . Palestine’s Breathtaking Natural Masterpiece

Wednesday 29-March-2017

Splendid grottoes and valleys running from Fara spring near the hills of Anata and al-Ram northeast of Occupied Jerusalem meet together to form the historic Qelet Valley itself made up of two gigantic rocky walls standing so tall that they oversee occupied Palestine.

Though the region is controlled by the Israeli occupation Palestinian youths have often flocked to the area to enjoy the panoramic views offered by Qelet water scenery.

Water fountains meet in al-Fawar spring making a unique painting weaved by a natural landscape that embroiders the area passing through the Jordan Valley until it ultimately pours into the Jordan River.

According to the Encyclopedia of Palestinian cities Wadi Qelet runs at a speed of three million cubic meters per annum.

The valley terminates near the Red Sea at a distance of 6.5 km south of the basin.

Youth activist Anwar Hamam said several tourists flock to the valley on Fridays and Saturdays with an estimated number of 2000 visitors per day.

Following is a set of exclusive snapshots taken by a PIC news correspondent.
