The Village of Drejat / Drogot (Heb)

The word Drogot in Hebrew means "steps". The village shares tale of the lives of a wonderful people, who have preserved their heritage and ancient civilization to this day. Their near forefathers were cave dwellers and led a life prevalent from the days of biblical patriarchs. The settlement was founded next to a famous biblical path on which Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob traveled from Beit El and Hebron south to Beer Sheba, the Negev, and on to Egypt as mentioned in the Bible. See introduction for more details.

Do visit the official site of Drejat: http://drejat.lanegev.co.il/index6.html

I also found this blog which has some very beautiful photographs taken from Drejat and some interesting stories to share:
