Description: Sde Boker is a kibbutz in the Negev Desert. It is known for being the retirement settlement chosen by David Ben Gurion, the founder and first prime minister of Israel. After renouncing politics, he went to Sde Boker where he still spent many years working at the kibbutz, writing and consulting to his political party. Ben Gurion always believed that the future of Israel was intrinsically connected to populating the Negev Desert, and as such he decided to be by himself an example and move to live there. We will have two stops at Sde Boker: the first one is at Midreshet Sde Boker, where the tombs of Ben Gurion and his wife are situated, and at the Kibbutz, which has turned Ben Gurion's hut into a museum documenting his time at the Kibbutz.
