Question
I heard that the blessing 'Who performs the acts of creation' mentioned in Halacha is not recited over the Judean Desert. I wanted to suggest that if one sees the Dead Sea, they should also look at the Judean Desert and intend to exempt from the blessing. What does the rabbi think?
Answer
Indeed, it is a good idea, and it is correct to do so.
