A desert oasis 25
minutes from Jerusalem and 5 minutes from the Dead Sea is the Kibbutz Almog
Tourism Center.
Surrounding the
lush grounds of the kibbutz is a breathtaking ancient landscape, and within
the kibbutz itself the atmosphere is relaxed, rural, tranquil. Whichever
direction you come from on the way to the Dead Sea, wherever you are
planning to stay in the area, Kibbutz Almog is close by.
Kibbutz Almog was
founded in 1979 by a group of kibbutz-born young people and belongs to the
United Kibbutz Federation (Takam). It was named after Yehuda Koplovitz
Almog, among the first settlers in the region and a founder of the potash
plant at the northern
Dead Sea, subsequently the Dead Sea Works at Sodom.
The kibbutz earns
its living from winter agriculture based on salty-soil cultivation: date
orchards, field crops, and grapes, and raises turkeys and dairy cows.
Almog is a partner
in the Attractzia Water Park on the shores of the Dead Sea, and
in the AHAVA plant which makes health and cosmetics products from the
natural minerals of the Dead Sea.
Along with
agriculture, we at Almog also work in tourism - with our holiday village,
restaurant, museum, and special events organizing and production services.
We hope to see you
here at Kibbutz Almog! |
