Thanks. Indeed there is a difference in satellite pics:Stunning pictures !
Can you post some pictures of Negev desert afforestation or plantation of dry shrubs to make it less desert-like ? I became curious after looking at some satellite vegetation maps of the region ... from Egypt border into Israel, the ground color becomes less yellow and a little brownish ... and it is clearly different. So, some large scale anti-desertification campaign must have been going on in the negev.

Here some Negev fields:

But overwhelming majority of Negev is deserted.
