Abstract
Wadi Araba, a valley between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea, is remarkable for its abundant vegetation in comparison to other desert areas of similar climatic type. Six soil varieties, differing in mechanical composition and salt and water content, are recognized, each with its characteristic vegetation. The occurrence of large areas occupied by the Central Asian "Saxaul forest" dominated by Haloxylon persicum is of interest from the phytogeo-graphical point of view.
