About About the place

Eshkol Park is a national park located in the northern Negev desert, Israel. The area served as a crucial stopping point for ancient Egyptian Pharaohs traveling north, and later played a significant role during World War I as a regrouping location for ANZAC forces before the Battle of Beer Sheba. The park features a mostly dry riverbed, the B'sor, which maintains green vegetation throughout the year. Visitors can explore well-marked trails, remnants of an old railway bridge and wagon, and enjoy picnicking and camping opportunities. The park is particularly beautiful in February-March when red windflowers bloom.

Best for

Families with young children, history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking a peaceful outdoor escape.

Best season

Winter and early spring (February-March) are the best times to visit, particularly to see the blooming red windflowers and the B'sor river flowing.

Best time to visit

Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Morning or late afternoon are recommended to avoid the midday heat.
