January 24 – Day 6 – Stop 2 Ein Gedi

This stop is not on our original itinerary and we really appreciate Mickey (our guide) graciously adding it in for us. We really enjoyed this place last year and wanted all of you to get to see it also.

This is where David ran to escape King Saul and took refuge in its caves.

Located about mid-point on the western shore of the Dead Sea, it is a beautiful oasis in the wilderness. There is a lovely waterfall and an abundance of wild life. The cony, spoken of in Proverbs, lives here, as does the not-so-wild goat.

The stop involves a bit of a stroll but it is well worth the time and effort.
