Several factors make the geographical region of Israel, Jordan and the Sinai one of the most interesting places in the world for nature lovers:

• Latitude 30-N, which is considered to be the northern border of the global desert zone of the northern hemisphere, crosses Israel, Jordan and the Sinai. This fact along with the proximity of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea explain the region’s diverse climate.
  
• Israel-Jordan-Sinai is the meeting point between Africa, Asia and the Arabian Subcontinent. (See Map-in flash site) Israel lies in direct proximity to Southern Europe. Four main phytogeographical regions meet together in Israel: The Mediterranean, the Irano-Turanian, the Saharo-Arabian and the Sudanian. In high and wet areas there are numerous species of Euro-Siberian origin. The result is an enormously diverse vegetation.
  
• The Red-Sea, the Gulf of ‘Aqaba and the `Arava-Jordan-Rift have been ever since their development in the Miocen, the passageway of African plants, animals, and humans. Some of the plants and of the animals are to this day part of the flora and fauna of Israel and Jordan. Today the passage way is used twice yearly by millions of birds, migrating between Eastern Europe and East Africa.

The result of all these facts is, that there is probably no other region on Earth, as in the triangle of Israel, Jordan and the Sinai, where in such a narrow space, so many diversely contradicting landscapes, flora and fauna exist and mingle.

Our Nature Tours try to show the beauty and the diversity of natural phenomena and to understand the processes that have formed them. In a deeper sense, we make an attempt to look at individual landscapes from an anthropocentric point of view and to understand them, as the momentary balance of a complex of diverse processes and influences, some purely natural and the others involving human activity.

We, at S.K. Tours in Nature, have 30 years of experience in operating desert tours with an emphasis on nature elements. We are located in Israel. Most of our groups are in the Sinai and Jordan. As seen from a bird’s eye the region of Israel, Jordan and the Sinai is one geographical unit and we relate to it this way. (See Satellite photo of the region-in flash site)
