Moshe Novomeisky Visitors Center, Dead Sea

Here, close to Highway 90, at the southern end of the Dead Sea, on your way to a southern holiday at the Dead Sea, the Judean Desert or Eilat, you will encounter a fascinating story about the vision, initiative and determination of a Zionist pioneer with a dream to develop industry in the Land of Israel. A story that has hardly been told yet constitutes part of the Zionist ethos and the Zionist revival of the Land of Israel.

The Visitors Center preserves and reconstructs the “Palestinian Potash Company Site” in Sdom, which was used from 1934 and until the early 1950’s as the workers camp for the Palestine Potash Ltd (P.P.L) Company Factories.

With the help of various attractions, we will meet face to face the way of life and working in this isolated stretch of country, the power of the vision and the determination of the people who not only dreamed and planned, but, despite all the limitations and difficulties, devised and performed.

The tour at the Visitors Center is guided and will pass through a number of the camp buildings, which have been reconstructed, adapted and made accessible to populations with mobility issues.
