About

Ein Plutit

Ein Plutit is the perfect place for those who want to dip their feet in the water, without all that ‘walking business’ beforehand. A short deviation from the road leads to Neot HaKikar (square) and Ein Tamar and, in just a few more small steps – you’re there!

Ein Plutit is a surprising place. Its location by the side of the road, in the middle of the desert, doesn’t give the slightest hint of what will be revealed to you. A small, cool, crystal-blue pool surrounded by palm trees that provide shade and also give a sense of complete detachment from what’s going on around you. To complete the atmosphere, a lovely wooden bridge has been built there and you can just sit back, cool your feet, listen to Nature and imagine you’re on another planet.
