Three Inviting Natural Pools Open Near Ariel Industrial Zone in Samaria
The renewed "Einot Yehuda" natural springs near the Ariel Industrial Zone in Samaria offer visitors three clear, cool pools of varying depths, ideal for families during the school break. The site features one deep pool reaching five meters, a medium pool about 1.4 meters deep, and a shallow pool of half a meter designed for toddlers and young children. Visitors can drive directly to the springs via a gravel path suitable for all vehicles.
The pools are fed year-round by two natural springs called Ein Al-Yanbu, and the area includes shaded spots and comfortable seating. The site commemorates Yehuda Dimentman, and the springs were restored by the team at Shoval Farm. Although the location is not an official swimming site and lacks lifeguards, it remains a popular destination for nature lovers.
Visitors are advised to exercise caution, as the area is in the West Bank and requires prior coordination with the Israeli military due to security concerns. It is recommended to travel in large groups and carry weapons for safety. Compliance with local signage, safety instructions, and legal regulations is emphasized. For updated weather conditions and entry permissions, visitors should contact the Nature and Parks Authority or the regional coordination centers.
