Juniperus phoenicea, commonly known as Phoenician juniper or Arâr, is a species of juniper native to the Mediterranean region. This evergreen shrub or small tree is well adapted to arid and semi-arid climates and often grows on rocky or sandy soils. It typically reaches a height of 2–8 meters, but can sometimes grow up to 12 meters.
The leaves of Juniperus phoenicea are scale-like and arranged in opposite pairs. The plant produces small, berry-like cones that are reddish-brown when mature and take about 18 months to ripen. These cones are an important food source for various bird species.

As a single tree in a wide field, the tree provides nice shade in the sun-drenched field. A bank invites you to linger.

Juniper with bench to relax. The landscape in the area is simply fantastic. It's only a few minutes from there to the Sea Caves and there is a bus stop nearby.
