The Ein Gedi oasis was part of the tribe of Juda, on the occidental shore of the Dead Sea. Escaping Shaul's wrath, it is the place David fleed to. Today, Nahal David is a breathtaking natural reserve, attracting every year thousands of tourists. The splendid 300 meter waterfall, that flows in the wadi, favours the growth of a rich subtropical vegetation.
The archeological digs that took place in the surroundings of Ein Gedi have revealed the relics of a human settlement extending from the prehistorical to the roman period.
 
 

It is possible to quietly bathe in the waterfalls and in the lagoons. However, if you plan to go hiking in the reserve, be sure to bring enough water because you risk dehydration! And also, don't do like me...don't get lost in the desert, because you could lose your life!
