The Cambrian of Israel and Jordan belongs to the relatively poorly known regions of Cambrian rocks. The outcrops cover small areas in the southernmost part of Israel, from about 50 km north of Eilat to almost the Red Sea, and areas in the southwestem part of Jordan. The best outcrops are found in the Timna area of Israel, which includes the legendary copper mines of King Solomon, at the eastern shore of the Dead Sea, in the Petra area, and in the Wadi Ram region of Jordan. They belong to a thick blanket of Cambrian through Cretaceous clastics which drapes the northern margin of the Arabo-Nubian Shield and was formerly termed the "Nubian sandstone".
