About

AHAVA Visitors’ Center - Kibbutz Mitzpe Shalem and Kibbutz Ein Gedi

For those of you who’ve already heard of Dead Sea Cosmetics, you will probably also be familiar with the international brand-name: AHAVA (in Hebrew: Love).

This brand-name originated in the kibbutzim located in the northern Dead Sea area. It began its course under various names, as far back as the 1970s.

Over the years, the AHAVA brand has become firmly established. This is due to the high standards, alongside the certainty of the use of original raw materials, in the preparation of the various products.

The AHAVA Visitors’ Center introduces you to the fascinating manufacturing process, and allows you to purchase the AHAVA products at attractive prices.

You’ll also find a cafeteria-shop and a host of intriguing exhibits that tell the fascinating story behind the pioneers of the Dead Sea cosmetics industry.

The Visitors’ Center also offers spectacular views dotted with pretty corners, unique and rare vegetation nurtured by ecological pools, and many migratory birds that drop in to rest and drink. This led to UNESCO’s recognition of this spot as a recognized bird-watching site.   

It’s worth a visit to gain your own impression 🙂

Life Paintings

Suzette Razon, artist and teacher for over 30 years, has developed a method of “life  paintings,” which allow participants to better understand and feel themselves through  drawing.  With this method, Suzette guides people on how to approach painting and  drawing from a variety of angles, just like life, which can observed from many  directions.  The activity can be done through uninhibited drawing with crayons, and without  really understanding how to draw at all.   A short, spontaneous drawing with no planning at all. However, it comes with the  attitude of a young child who is happy with any result.  Suzette’s goal is to bring out your creativity and discover shapes and colors  through a fun and relaxing painting experience.  Personal or group meetings in Mount Amasa in the forest or in the desert in order  to easily draw and derive inspiration and creativity.  You can also purchase instructional videos for painting at home in your free  timehttps://suzeta.co.il/life-paintings/  See you in the pictures,  Suzette Razon
