This wadi drains into the Mediterranean Sea near Gaza. This is the southern border of the Negev and northern border of the Wilderness of Zin. Wadi Besor, or Nahal Besor, is one of two major wadis that drains western Negev into to sea. There are seven major ancient cities located along this source of water. |
