History
Archaeological findings at Ein Bokek include the ruins of Metzad Bokek, a small Roman-era fortress commanding the main road, and the remains of an ancient partly reconstructed perfume and medicine factory. The Bokek Stream, for which the district is named, is a canyon-like gorge with water springs and unique fauna and flora.[1]
The first hotel was built in 1960. In 2000, 14 hotels were operating in Ein Bokek, offering various types of spas and Dead Sea health treatments.[2] As of 2018, Ein Bokek is set to undergo significant development with the Dead Sea Valley Tourism Complex, designed by Israeli architect Moshe Safdie. The project will include a convention center, a visitor center, two low-rise luxury hotels with additional hotels planned for the future, entertainment and culinary venues, an advanced spa, and a shopping mall.[3]
