Abraham's well, Biblical water well museum in Beersheba, Israel.
The circular stone well measures twelve feet in diameter and forty-four feet deep, with ancient water-drawing marks visible along its walls.
The well gained recognition when Edward Robinson documented its significance to patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob during his 1838 expedition to the region.
The museum presents the story of Abraham through multimedia displays, connecting the three major monotheistic religions that trace their origins to this patriarch.
The visitor center operates Sunday through Thursday from 9:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours that include a three-dimensional audiovisual presentation.
Stone inscriptions in Arabic from the twelfth century remain embedded in the well's masonry, indicating centuries of continuous water collection at this location.
