Ein Feshkha, Nature reserve near Dead Sea, Palestine

Ein Feshkha expands across a narrow strip between mountain ranges and coastline, featuring freshwater springs alongside mineral pools and dense vegetation.

The reserve, established in 1988, contains archaeological remains of a main building measuring 24x18 meters with surrounding rooms, storage areas, and water channels.

Ancient leather tanneries discovered at the site indicate the area's role in producing parchment for manuscript writing during historical periods.

Visitors can explore designated walking paths through the reserve's open section, which includes natural pools suitable for swimming and mineral water treatments.

This location stands as the lowest nature reserve globally, supporting diverse ecosystems where fresh springs meet the hypersaline waters of the Dead Sea.
