The Botanical Garden

Even people who have no real affinity to desert scapes (yes, there are people like that!) admit that the Ein Gedi oasis is a sight not to be missed. Imagine an oasis with over 800 unique and rare species of trees, shrubs and flowers from all over the world.

The result is a one-of-a kind, exotic and well-tended botanical garden containing biblical plants such as myrrh and frankincense, rare trees such as the baobab, tropical plants from the rainforests, date palms and other palm trees, fruit trees, local plants such as the Sodom Apple, and many more.

Cactus Park
Close by the botanical garden is the Cactus Park, with a rare collection of 1,000 species of cactus and desert plants from around the world. The houses are set among this exotic flora, providing a rare and picturesque way of life for members of the kibbutz.
