Ein Gedi
Ein Gedi is an oasis in Israel, located west of the Dead Sea, near Masada and the caves of Qumran.
Cave of Letters
The name Cave of Letter was coined after the 1960-61 explorations when letters and fragments of papyri were found that dated back to the period of the Bar Kokhba revolt 132-135 AD. Some of these were personal letters of correspondence between Bar-Kokhba and his subordinates, and one notable bundle of papyri known as the Babata or Babatha cache revealed the life and trials of a woman, Babata, who lived during this period of time.
Ein Gedi Spa
Ein Gedi Spa is a wellness center along the Dead Sea, Israel, fed by the waters of the Dead Sea. It provides health by the four elements of the area: water, air, sun, and mud. The spa has hot pools that are filled with sulphur water. It is a famous attraction on the shore of the Dead Sea. The spa is known for its unpleasant odor resulting from the sulphur springs. However, it still draws large crowds who believe in its health benefits. The spa is run by the Ein Gedi Kibbutz.
Nahal Hever
Nahal Hever is a stream in the Judean Desert that flows from Ein Gedi and Masada to the Dead Sea. At the head of the stream are two caves, the "cave of letters" (מערת האיגרות), and, further up, the "cave of horrors" (מערת האימה) in which have been found archeological evidences of the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–136). The sites were discovered 1953 and investigated 1960-1961 by Yigael Yadin. The papyri were published in two volumes; Greek (1989), and Hebrew and Aramaic (1991).
