Please note: It is not clear to us whether entering the abandoned buildings and staying there after dark is permitted. Do not enter the buildings, and it is a good idea to check before you head out.
An abandoned Arab village situated next to a spring at the entrance to Jerusalem. A relatively large spring with an attached water tunnel. There are places to sit in the shade, and you can also walk down a trail among the abandoned houses toward Emek HaArazim Park near Ramot Junction.
We don't have information yet about: Lookout, Parking, Public transport, Restrooms, Always open
How to get there
From the Chords Bridge, head out of the city. A bit before the gas stations, turn right and go onto the bridge located over the road connecting Begin Boulevard to the entrance of the city. Once you cross the bridge to the other side, continue descending along a wide dirt road down to the spring. To get to the village itself, you can continue along smaller trails.
Covered? Lit?
Partially covered inside the abandoned houses, unlit
Tips from the community
A wonderful place. It is worth knowing that the spring is sometimes used as a mikveh, so it is recommended to pay attention to when you arrive.
