Sde Boker | Ben-Gurion's desert home and memorial tomb

Israel video tour of Sde Boker with David Hyman, professional tour guide. This video tour shares light on our first prime minister - David Ben Gurion.
Ben Gurion and his wife Paula, decided to leave the center of the country and move to the desert. This move was bold and courageous in ways that can't be explained. They chose to join a tiny Kibbutz that was just built, in the middle of vast emptiness and far from any comfort. The wooden hut they lived in for 20 years is not just a museum, it is a monument to how Israel started and by whom. Modest, humble, down-to-earth, hard-working, peoplehood. All these values and many more are packaged into Ben Gurion's symbolic message. The house in Kibbutz Sde Boker is a must-visit on your journey to understand Israel. From there continue to the tombs of Paula and David Ben Gurion. They are buried on a desert ledge overlooking wadi Tzin, in two similar tombs with only three dates on each: The date of their birth, the date of their death, and the date they made Aliyah to Israel..
No words are needed.
