You get to the unique suite through the Sculpture garden Gallery of the artist Itzik Gamliel, He can show you around. Some sculptures located around the suite yard, and it's AMAZING. Coffee and tea are always available. The furnitures are handmade by Itzik. The balcony has a nice and quite view to the wild desert landscape , you can see through the Open view of the Judean Desert, the Dead Sea, and the Moab Mountains that located in the State of Jordan.
Artistic experience in a breathtaking desert landscape, at our Sculpture Garden, House of Art, Arad, Israel. Check out our FB page --> ''House of Art''. Itzik Gamliel the 'Metal Artist and Founder of the Sculpture Garden". Lovely Yaffa, Itzik wife, will hosts you with an open arms. and she always available upstairs for any kind of questions or information, and available for any questions in English by phone.
You can take a walk in the desert around the neighborhood. Hike by A disappointing stream in the heart of the desert, hunting floods in the early Israeli winter, floating in the Dead Sea - all year round, riding camels, getting to know the desert through your feet, waking up to a dreamy sunrise, connecting to body and peace of mind. City center & Market center is 6 minutes by driving. DEAD SEA is about 20-25 minutes drive.
