About

Agricultural Tours – Korin's Home

An agricultural tour for groups and families in the agricultural fields of Kikar Sodom.

The tour is accompanied by stories and explanations of the unique local agriculture. Agriculture that deals with salty soil and water, yet the end product – fruit and veg – is as sweet as nectar, about life alongside the border, and life in the region, in general.

In addition, including the tour, there are stop-offs at points of interest and vantage points with spectacular views, including a glimpse of the border with Jordan, a visit to the “Tamar HaKikar” date plantation – one of the largest date plantations in the country – and, of course, tasting directly from the fields, depending on the crops and the season.

Also recommended, is a visit to the local art galleries – the Metal Artist JOJO, and Esti Barak, an artist who creates from clay and whose works are inspired by agriculture and the local landscape.

The area can be reached by private car, or as an organized group by bus.

The duration of the tour is approximately two hours.
