A famous spa and oasis on the Dead Sea shore known from Biblical times.
Ein Gedi - Hebrew עֵין גֶּדִי‎, Arabic عين جدي‎, "ayn jady‎" - "spring of the kid (young goat)" is an oasis and a nature reserve in Israel, west of the Dead Sea, near Masada and the Qumran Caves.

The Moringa Cave within Pleistocene sediments in the En Gedi area contains a sequence of various Pleistocene lacustrine deposits associated with higher-than-today lake levels at the Dead Sea basin. In addition, it contains Chalcolithic remains and 5th-century BC burials attributed to the Persian period, cemented and covered by Late Holocene travertine flowstone (Lisker et al., 2007).
