Einot Tzukim Nature Reserve (Ein Feshkha)

Sometimes we go on hikes that remind us of a corner in Europe, Morocco, or Greece. But that’s not the case with Einot Tzukim Nature Reserve – a place so unique, there’s nothing like it anywhere else in the world!


First, this is the lowest nature reserve in the world – located right on the shores of the Dead Sea, in the heart of the region where the Syrian-African Rift transformed continents. This fact makes it truly one of a kind, with extraordinary geographical and scenic conditions. It’s a fascinating blend of desert, abundant freshwater springs near a salty sea, desert animals alongside species from wet habitats, and, above all, migratory birds flying directly over the reserve every spring and fall.

The Botanical Garden at Kibbutz Ein-Gedi

Those who enter the gate of Kibbutz Ein Gedi will probably have to rub their eyes or pinch themselves, to make sure it’s not a Fata Morgana.
After a long drive through the desert, a lush green paradise suddenly opens up before you, with huge trees that seem to belong in an adventure book, climbing plants, cacti in strange shapes and forms and an abundance of flowers.

 Today, there are about 900 different species of plants in the garden, which came from all over the world.
The result is that this not-so-large garden, is a mini-cosmos – you’ll find Baobab trees from Africa, Adenium from Australia, Cacti from South America, tropical vegetation and plants mentioned in the Bible. They all live together in one happy flower bed, and perhaps there is also symbolism in it, that we can all learn from.

Garden Tours
You can explore the garden in two ways: independent walking or guided tour.
To tour independently all you need to do is to arrive during open hours, pass through the botanical garden visitors’ center, get a map of the garden with trail markings – and off you go! The map is available in Hebrew, English and Russian.
The second option is to arrange a guided tour in advance.

Nahal Amatziahu

A hiking trail suitable for the whole family
  • west of Road 90

Nahal Amatziahu, a unique natural site in the Dead Sea area, originates in the Jehoaddan hills at the edge of the Hatzra ridge, west of Road 90. The stream stretches approximately 20 kilometers, carving its path through the soft, white rocks characteristic of the tongue-shaped formations.
The stream ends its journey at the Dead Sea, near the Amatziahu River Park, facing the stunning Red Mountains.

The name of the stream draws inspiration from the Bible, where it is suggested that Amaziah, King of Judah, passed through the area on his way to suppress the Edomite rebellion. As described: “And he smote Edom with the rods of salt” (2 Kings 14:7).
