Sde-Boker: David Ben-Gurion's House and Solar Energy Research Center


This southern area offers several attractions: Ben-Gurion's Shed, Ben-Gurion's grave, The "Zin valley " observation point (one of the most beautiful places in Israel), The Desert Research Institute, the "Havarim" stream trek and "Ein-Ovdat".

David Ben-Gurion was the Jewish-Zionistic "Abraham Lincoln" as well as "Moses" of the Jewish people. When visiting his home on the Kibbutz one can learn of the man, his vision about the "NEGEV" and of the Research institute that had been created re studying the desert, based on Ben-Gurion's dream.

This is also the ripe time to learn of the latest developments in terms of Energy, Agriculture, construction and many other bright inventions.

By the way, have you ever carried out Meditation on the Edge of a cliff? Have you ever tried standing on your head, just like Avid Ben-Gurion did?

The desert is a unique place, of a clam and soothing atmosphere, an experience ine shouldn't miss when visiting Israel.
