Ein Gedi Nature Reserve Essentials
Ein Gedi is a desert oasis on the western shore of the Dead Sea, characterized by year-round spring-fed waterfalls and lush vegetation. The nature reserve encompasses the David and Arugot streams, housing archaeological sites like a 5th-century synagogue with mosaic floors and a Chalcolithic temple. It serves as a critical habitat for the Nubian Ibex and rock hyrax, while the nearby kibbutz features a botanical garden with over 1,000 plant species.
