post, and even a telegraph station.1 The well itself-or rather the two adjacent wells, separated by a couple of hundred meters, that share the name Kuntillih-lies in a dry river bed of the kind that is called a wadi. This particular wadi, one of the largest in Sinai, is about one kilometer wide at this point. Its surface is sand and soft gravel. Bushes grow in it and even trees-gnarled and abused acacias, with thorns as long as a man's middle finger, a menace to the tires of any passing vehicle when they fall on the ground, but still not enough to deter a browsing camel from eating such greenery as there may be. The great wadi has sharply defined boundaries; beyond them there is virtually no vegetation, only compacted sand and gravelcovered hills, until one comes to the next wadi. This is a country with almost no rain: the average precipitation is certainly less than 50 mm (roughly 2 inches) a year, perhaps as little as half as much
