Ein Gedi Spa

Ein Gedi Spa is a wellness center along the Dead Sea, Israel, fed by the waters of the Dead Sea.[1] It provides health by the four elements of the area: water, air, sun, and mud. The spa has hot pools that are filled with sulphur water. It is a famous attraction on the shore of the Dead Sea.[2][3]

Ein Gedi spa

The spa is known for its unpleasant odor resulting from the sulphur springs. However, it still draws large crowds who believe in its health benefits.[4]

The spa is run by the Ein Gedi Kibbutz.[5]

Initially built directly along the shoreline of the Dead Sea, due to the sea's shrinkage, the spa is now found at quite a distance from the lake.[6]

The annual Ein Gedi Race starts off at the spa's location.
