The Bible records that 3,000 years ago David hid from King Saul at Ein Gedi. When David surprised the King and spared his life after finding him unarmed, Saul said David would succeed him on the throne.
There is no place quite like Ein Gedi, a magical oasis teeming with wildlife. Ein Gedi’s pristine waterfalls and brooks are enjoyed to this day as a modern #nature reserve, just a short hike away from the Dead Sea. Come take a look!
Located on the Dead Sea's western shore, Ein Gedi ("spring of the goat") is a desert oasis with waterfalls, pools of water and two large streams. It is a hiker's paradise with beautiful foliage, exotic birds and a range of wildlife, including rabbits, deer, and ibex.
