- Itinéraire
The middle spring of Nahal Prat, reopened to the public on 1 July 2026 after upgrading works. Ein Mabua is a rare karstic pulsing spring: water surges out of an underground cavity in bursts and the square bathing pool empties between beats. There is also a Byzantine church mosaic, ancient aqueducts and the remains of a 1931 British pumping station.

Y aller
Roughly half an hour east of Jerusalem through Mishor Adumim; signposted from the Nahal Prat reserve roads. A car is the only realistic way.
Temps à prévoirHalf a day ÂgesAll ages at the spring pool, which is about four metres deep in places — watch children closely. The connecting trails along the wadi are rocky desert walking, not buggy ground. Intérieur ou extérieurExtérieur Chabbat et fêtesOuvert Meilleur momentSummer, oddly: the pulsing only happens once the winter recharge has drained, so the surge-and-empty effect is at its best from early summer onwards. Go at opening to beat the heat.
Conseils d'initiés
- Booking is compulsory and free — register before you drive out or you will be turned away.
- The spring pulses mainly in summer; in winter it simply flows continuously and the effect is lost.
- Pollution in Nahal Prat has closed the blue trail from Ein Mabua to Ein Qelt and the green trail above it — check before planning a walk.
- On days of heat load or flood risk the reserve's trails are shut.
