Shkedi’s Camplodge

Top choice in Dead Sea


A wonderful place to linger for a couple of days, this desert retreat is especially enchanting at night, when owner Gil Shkedi and his guests hang out around the campfire or sip beers in the chill-out tent. On hot days you can mist yourself while relaxing on a hammock.

Dorm beds, often booked out on Friday and Saturday, are inside cosy, spacious, wood-built dorm lodges; mattresses are on the floor. The clean, modern bathroom block looks vaguely Mexican. Has a fully equipped kitchen for self-caterers.
