An oasis in the middle of Judaean desert. Looking to cool down after touring around the hot desert this is the place to visit with different waterfalls you can swim and bathe.Full review by jarveyc

Beautiful fun activity on a hot day. The walk from the car park is mostly exposed so got very hot, but the pools were lovely and cool, cold even. And shaded. Standing under the waterfall was an alter…Full review by evaaK3964ZT
Hi! We would love to see the Ein Gedi park, walk in the beautiful surroundings, and then go to the Dead sea in the same area. We would like to leave from Beer sheva by bus, and go back before it is dark. This gives us the time between 8.34 am and 15.30, would that be enough? Ein Gedi is the most timportant part for us, but we dont want to miss the Dead sea when we are there. And should we bring our own lunch/picknick for the park?

There is a paved walkway from the visitor's center to the first falls. This walk takes no more than 20 minutes or so (you won't be the only ones there since this is a big tour bus stop). It's a short walk/climb to the next two smaller falls just behind the first falls. You can probably accomplish all this in 1 hour. There is a large undercover area filled with picnic tables at the visitor's center and a small café that serves sandwiches, etc. No need to bring your own food. The park is OK, but I would rank the Dead Sea over it since it's so unusual. The Dead Sea near Ein Gedi is not the best/most scenic part but what the heck. You can still float. There are some café/restaurants located here too.
How did you get there ? Did you have a guide ? Thanks, David
