The Mount of Temptation is said to be the hill in the Judean Desert where Jesus was tempted by Satan.[1] The exact location is unknown. It is generally identified with Mount Quarantania, a limestone mountain about 366 metres (1,200 feet) high, located about 11 km (6.8 mi) northwest of the town of Jericho.
