Ein Feshkha, Nature reserve near Dead Sea, Palestine
Ein Feshkha is a nature reserve along the Dead Sea coast, situated in a narrow strip between mountains and water. Freshwater springs feed the area, creating mineral pools and supporting dense plant growth that thrives in this unusual setting.
The area was inhabited in ancient times and served as a place for specialized crafts. Archaeological finds show that people used the resources here over many centuries and built structures adapted to the unique conditions.
The place has long been a center for skilled craftwork and natural resource use. People relied on the flowing springs and special conditions to process materials that were valuable for their communities.
You can walk on marked trails through the open areas and swim in natural pools. The early morning or late afternoon offers the most comfortable conditions for exploring the reserve.
The place ranks among the lowest natural habitats on Earth, where freshwater springs meet the salty sea. This extreme location creates rare conditions for plants and animals adapted to these remarkable extremes.
