Natural Pools of Ein Gedi Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Absolutely worth seeing natural pools with the possibility of a refreshment. The rocks and the water form a beautiful oasis feeling here. It should be the area in which the future King David should have hidden from King Saul ... you can imagine it very well :)

Ein Gedi Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

An absolute must from my point of view 👍👌
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!
