Nahal Rubin, Protected area in Jerusalem District, Israel

The national park stretches across varied ecosystems, featuring diverse habitats that support over 100 bird species throughout different seasonal migrations.

The site holds Muslim significance as the burial place of Reuben, son of Jacob, and hosted annual pilgrimages during the Ottoman period until 1948.

The location drew gatherings of 30,000 visitors who participated in markets, competitions, prayers, and entertainment activities during month-long celebrations.

Visitors can access the park through Kibbutz Palmachim, where parking facilities are available, though the site requires an entrance fee.

A memorial near the site commemorates the victims of the Haruan plane crash from July 18, 1948, adding to its historical significance.
