David and Pola Ben Gurion graves, Memorial garden and national park in Sde Boker, Israel
The graves of David and Paula Ben-Gurion stand on a cliff edge, offering views across the Negev desert and Wadi Tzin valley below.
The site marks the final resting place of Israel's first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and his wife Paula, who selected this location for their burial in the Negev.
The memorial reflects Ben-Gurion's vision of developing the Negev desert, with gardens containing native plants surrounding the burial grounds.
Visitors can reach the site through marked paths from Midreshet Ben-Gurion, with informational plaques and guided tours available throughout the day.
Wild ibexes frequently traverse the grounds near the graves, creating encounters between wildlife and visitors against the desert landscape.
