Uvda is the name of a region in the southern Negev desert, directly north of Eilat. The name derives from the Hebrew word uvda (meaning fact). The region was captured during Operation Uvda in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, when the Israel Defense Forces entered the area with the stated aim of establishing 'facts on the ground', hence the name. The Uvda Valley is known for the 7000-year-old Leopards Temple [he] archaeological site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvda_(Israel) + https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/operation-uvda

"the sand here is unusual: it turns out that about half of the grains that make up it are tiny, limestone fossils. What gives the dunes their special shape is the sand that comes from the Ovda Valley and just spills from the cliff steps. The wind renews the dune every day" (https://www.yaellernerturism.com/post/s ... -in-israel) + STREET VIEW https://goo.gl/maps/f5udh4chtzoVST4ZA Feb 2022 by Erez Gur
