A warm message from the “Desert Dawn” Family Hosts Etti and David

 

Shalom and Welcome,

My husband David and I are residents in the Neot Hakikar Dead Sea community for 40 years.

The soils in the region are highly salty, temperature can reach up to 50 celsius, although crop growth is excellent here.

We used to grow winter vegetables such as tomatoes, melons, watermelons, grapes, palm flower, eggplant, and more.

The village has 100 families and consist of a small and supportive community that together established a thriving and quality education system.

We raised 3 children and built our home in which we currently live with both of our hands.

Our house is situated in a landscape of rock marl, a primeval place, away from the crowds.

The areas abound include:

Short and comfortable hikes/walking trails with/without Children

Challenging trails for experienced hikers.

Bicycle Trails

Jeep Tours

Swimming pool

Plus many varied activities listed below.

We will be happy to host you in our home, whether for relaxation or take a walk and enjoy the sign of your soul… 😉

 

Warmest,

Etti and David
