Ein Gedi Waterfall
Highlight • Waterfall
An oasis in the middle of the desert is recommended very early in the morning before many tourists come to watch animals.
See ibex, snakes and bird species and if you are very lucky you may see leopards (a special, smaller species that only exists in this region).
Avoid waste - that is, take it with you!
