The healing powers of the Dead Sea have been known since ancient times.  Two thousand years ago, King Herod soaked in its water and bathed in its thermal as a remedy. Despite its morbid name, the Dead Sea is a source of rich minerals known primarily for rejuvenating and invigorating the skin, improving metabolism, and promoting good circulation. Ahava is the leading company to manufacture skin care products made of minerals and mud from the Dead Sea. Founded in 1988, the company is primarily known for anti-aging products, hand creams, and facial cleansers.

Visiting the Ahava Factory Store

Ahava’s Visitor Center and factory store is beside its packaging facility, 8 miles north of Kibbutz Ein Gedi. It is open daily from 8:00 to 17:00 and offers free factory tours. Expert representatives are available to consult on the best products for your skin. There are also gift packages that could make a perfect souvenir to bring home to family and friends. There is no obligation to buy any of the products, but being a factory store, you can get the best package deals for Ahava’s famous products here.

A visit to the site can be arranged as part of a day tour of the Dead Sea.
