Where the Magi Once Trod...
Southeast of the Dead Sea, the fascinating ruins of a city carved in stone can still be seen today, which for centuries remained hidden in the inhospitable desert of Edom. To reach it, one has to walk along a narrow gorge twelve hundred metres in length, winding between rocky walls …
