Ben-Gurion Tomb National Park
גן לאומי אחוזת קבר בן-גוריון
The final resting place of Israel’s founding prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, and his wife; the simple grave overlooks the spectacular Zin Canyon.
Ben-Gurion’s Tomb sits on a cliff at the edge of Sde Boker College (Midreshet Ben-Gurion). Israel’s first prime minister, Ben-Gurion, and his wife Paula are buried here. The grave is plain, with a sweeping panorama of Zin Canyon and the Avdat Plateau behind it, and ibex often graze nearby. The cemetery is free to enter, and paths within the park lead down into Zin Canyon. It is also one of the starting points for the route to the entrance above Avdat Spring. We recommend visiting together with Ben-Gurion’s Desert Home and Avdat Spring.
