An archaeological garden where you can enjoy diverse craft activities where you can travel back in time to ancient Jerusalem.

Welcome to Ein Yael, a unique natural treasure in the landscape of Jerusalem.  In Ein Yael, you will find a fountain, beautiful agricultural terraces, wild vegetation, and various plants, a rare and ancient archaeological mosaic, the remains of a Roman villa, and bathhouses. For thousands of years, Ein Yael has been a natural resort situated alongside relics from the Roman era in which the farm was first established. The place was an agricultural hinterland for Jerusalem merchants and pilgrims who crossed the Refaim Stream. 

Here, connections were made between man and man, between man and the spirit world, and between man and earth. Similarly, even today, there are active cultural spaces, art, therapy, and education working here in nature. Their purpose is to restore the ancient technologies, manage the traditional agricultural heritage and create continuity for the gift that this place offers to Jerusalem and the environment. 

Ein Yael is available to visitors on open days, designated festivals, or by prior appointment.

  • The activities at Ein Yael are available only by prior arrangement and booking.
