Rock-cut Qumran Caves
Near Dead Sea, Israel
The Qumran Caves, located in the desert cliffs near the Dead Sea, are among the most important archaeological sites in the world because they were the discovery place of the famous Dead Sea Scrolls between 1947 and 1956.
These natural and man-made caves lie beside the ancient settlement of Qumran, which is widely associated with a Jewish community from the Second Temple period. The scrolls, containing biblical manuscripts and other ancient texts, provide invaluable insights into early Judaism and the historical background of Christianity.
Today, visitors can explore the archaeological remains and view the dramatic desert landscape that helped preserve these remarkable documents for nearly two thousand years.
