A visit to our internationally acclaimed experimental orchard is an experience not to be missed. With over 250 different varieties of fruit trees and cacti, a walk through the orchard with one of our local experts will stimulate your curiosity and delight your senses.

Since 1974, Dr. Elaine Solowey, a founding kibbutz member, has been experimenting with desert agriculture. Time magazine recently featured her groundbreaking work in the cultivation of Tibetan medicinal herbs.

Ketura, located in the southern Negev, is a perfect spot for those looking for a family vacation or a group seminar in a safe, quiet corner of Israel. A trip to the experimental orchard can be planned as a one-hour stopover on the way to Eilat, a half-day experience including kosher meals or any option that suits the needs of the group.
