Ein Gedi is one of Israel's most unique and awesome nature attractions, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. An oasis in the desert, near the salty Dead Sea , Ein Gedi's surprising climate and atmosphere makes it a charming site in it of itself. As with many places in Israel, historical significance is also a factor of Ein Gedi's charm, with the area settled some 5,000 years ago by Israelites. Today, Ein Gedi hosts numerous spas with hot springs, mineral springs and mud baths. Containing a rich array of wildlife, the oasis environment houses many notable animals including ibexes, caracals, hyenas and even leopards (which are nearly extinct in Israel).
