Gan HaShlosha

Gan HaShlosha National Park (Sachne) in the Bet She'an Valley of northern Israel is a natural thermal spring complex where warm chloride-rich water emerges at a constant 28°C from the basalt formations of the Jordan Rift Valley, filling a series of turquoise pools surrounded by ancient eucalyptus, fig, and tabor oak trees in one of the most beautiful natural bathing sites in the Middle East. The spring's constant warm temperature and extraordinary visual clarity — the water flows so clearly that the sandy pools appear as translucent turquoise basins — have made Gan HaShlosha one of Israel's most beloved national park swimming destinations. The ancient Bet She'an Roman theatre and city ruins lie just a few kilometres away, and the valley's rich archaeological heritage — continuously inhabited from Neolithic times through the Byzantine period — provides a historical depth that amplifies the experience of bathing in this remarkable natural thermal spring landscape.
