Ein Gedi Nature Reserve

The Ein Gedi Nature Reserve is an oasis of wildlife, plants, springs, and waterfalls on the edge of the super-salty Dead Sea. While the surrounding cliffs are reminiscent of the America of classic westerns, the valleys are an Eden of greenery and animals. The various hikes through the reserve are like something from a hiker's wish list: every time bodies start getting hot and sweaty, there's a spring, a shady spot, or a cascading waterfall to cool off in. Many of the animals are not shy, so it's easy to spot ibex, hyrax (a kind of wild guinea pig), and various reptiles and birds. It's very, very hot in the afternoon, so plan to arrive early or stay at one of the simple hostels located nearby.
