Ein Gedi
Cool off from the desert heat at this glorious, green oasis in the middle of the Judean desert.
Natural spring water cascades over a series of ledges in the desert rock, creating waterfalls and fresh water pools, perfect for hiking through and swimming in.
The springs give life to palm trees, bulrushes, and tropical and Mediterranean plant life, which together produce the sweetest of scents.
Watch out for the hyraxes, ibexes, and many native bird species as you hike the family-friendly trail. More demanding hiking trails reward with impressive views of the Dead Sea and red mountains of Jordan.
Visiting Ein Gedi showed us even more of the natural beauty and diversity of the land.
