The Dead Sea

SPRINGS OF EIN GEDI​

Hike through the Judean Wilderness to the springs of Ein Gedi, where it is said that David hid from Saul in a cave. The natural springs flow year-round, providing an oasis amid a barren landscape. This is always a fun adventure and it isn't every day that you can say: "I hiked where King David and his soldiers hiked"!

QUMRAN CAVES​

One of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century occurred in the Qumran caves. In 1948, the year Israel achieved statehood, a Bedouin shepherd accidentally discovered pottery containing ancient manuscripts. In the end, almost every book in the Old Testament was found in caves -- scrolls dating back to the time of Jesus. The Dead Sea Scrolls remain one of the most amazing and miraculous discoveries authenticating the biblical record.
