Isrotel Ganim Dead Sea Hotel-now branded as Noga by Isrotel Collection-is a refreshingly straightforward four-star property in Ein Bokek’s quieter southern district. Built in 2002 and recently renovated, the 204 rooms feel contemporary without pretense. Here’s what makes it work: You’re just 170 meters from the Dead Sea’s shore. The hotel has two indoor pools filled with authentic Dead Sea mineral water at 34.2% salinity-imagine the floating experience without leaving your hotel. That’s genuine convenience. The atmosphere balances family-friendly energy with genuine tranquility. Rooms are bright, well-maintained, and outfitted with modern amenities. The property sits within the larger Isrotel Dead Sea campus, so you get resource-sharing benefits without sacrificing independence. Dining, spa, and recreation areas are your own. The rebranding to Noga didn’t change what matters: it’s still a value-conscious entry point to Israel’s lowest point, where mineral-rich therapeutic waters meet real, unpretentious hospitality.
The hotel is exactly 170 meters from Ein Bokek's municipal beach-a two-minute walk from the lobby. Jerusalem is about 90 minutes away via Route 90 and Route 1 if you want to combine Dead Sea time with history. Arad, an inland town with contemporary Israeli architecture and Bedouin culture, is just 30 minutes away. You're positioned to explore, but close enough to stay put if you want.

Accessible rooms
All 204 rooms are freshly renovated with contemporary design. You get air conditioning, flat-screen satellite TV, safe, minibar, and electric kettle as standard. Bathrooms have tub or shower with complimentary bathrobes. Free Wi-Fi reaches every corner of the property. Room categories range from standard accommodations for one to three adults, to family rooms with adjoining doors. The property’s largest option is the ground-floor terrace room with private garden access and two sun lounges-perfect for families needing secure outdoor space. Additional options include Dead Sea view rooms, pool view rooms, deluxe rooms, studios, and suites with separate living and sleeping areas. Two complimentary ironing stations serve all guests. Unlike the neighboring Nevo property, these rooms don’t have private balconies, though terrace rooms offer an alternative outdoor experience.
Two small indoor pools dominate the spa experience. Each measures 7 by 5 meters and fills with authentic Dead Sea mineral water-the same mineral composition as the sea itself. That means magnesium, calcium, potassium, and bromide at 34.2% salinity. The recommended soak duration is 15 to 20 minutes per session. The pools are surrounded by two hot tubs, a dry sauna, and sensory showers designed for sensory experience. A seasonal outdoor freshwater pool (25 by 12 meters) operates during warmer months. There’s also a separate children’s pool. Additional wellness treatments-Dead Sea mud wraps, massages, body therapies-are available at supplementary cost. Some guests can access the nearby Nevo property’s Esprit Spa during certain periods. It’s a solid, straightforward wellness setup without unnecessary complexity.
The Shaked Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast is buffet-style with cheese, eggs, fresh pastries, and salads. Dinner features meat and fish preparations with vegetarian options. A rare and genuinely nice touch: complimentary soft drinks and beer at dinner-most Ein Bokek properties charge for beverages. The lobby bar offers a dairy menu throughout the day with pool and Dead Sea views. The Chill-Out Restaurant activates seasonally by the pool, serving grilled meats, sandwiches, fresh salads, children’s portions, and cocktails during warm months. It’s variety without pretension.
The municipal beach is two minutes away-that’s your gateway to the legendary Dead Sea floating experience. The mineral-dense water buoys you naturally. It’s not a sensation you can replicate elsewhere. Beyond the sea, the region offers genuine exploration opportunities: Masada National Park is roughly one hour north, featuring the iconic clifftop palace and expansive Judaean Desert views. Arad, 30 minutes inland, showcases contemporary Israeli architecture and traditional Bedouin culture. The Dead Sea basin itself, at 430 meters below sea level, creates a unique geographical and microclimate environment. The hotel concierge can arrange guided nature walks and local experiences. It’s convenient exploration without the feeling of being herded through tourist traps.
Noga positions itself as one of Ein Bokek’s most genuinely family-oriented properties. The Kidos children’s club operates with professional tutors and provides toys, video games, and structured activities suited to various age groups. Free baby cots are available on request. Ground-floor terrace rooms with private garden access offer families secure outdoor space directly from their accommodation-a genuinely uncommon feature in Dead Sea hotels. Multiple adjoining room configurations accommodate larger family groups. A dedicated children’s pool sits adjacent to the main outdoor facility, providing age-appropriate swimming separate from adults. The hotel isn’t overly programmed, which many families appreciate: you get support structures without the feeling of forced entertainment.
Masada National Park (approximately 1 hour north): iconic hilltop palace, UNESCO recognition, archaeological significance, panoramic Judaean Desert views. Ein Gedi nature reserve (approximately 30 minutes north): hiking trails, freshwater springs, botanical gardens, scenic landscapes. Arad (30 minutes inland): contemporary Israeli architecture, Bedouin culture, museums, desert town character. Dead Sea shoreline: stretches both directions with scenic views and multiple access points.

Isrotel Ganim occupies a prime spot in Ein Bokek’s quieter southern zone, away from the cluster of massive hotels. The Dead Sea shoreline stretches north and south, bordered by dramatic desert geology. Nearby, you’ll find local shops, restaurants, and the commercial heart of Ein Bokek. Arad (30 km inland) showcases modern Israeli desert architecture and traditional Bedouin hospitality. The Dead Sea’s unique geography-430 meters below sea level-creates a microclimate distinctly different from surrounding regions.
The hotel is exactly 170 meters from Ein Bokek’s municipal beach-a two-minute walk from the lobby. Additionally, the hotel has two indoor pools filled with authentic Dead Sea mineral water, so you can experience the minerals without leaving the property.
The pools are filled with authentic Dead Sea water at 34.2% salinity-the same mineral composition as the sea itself. You float in them just like in the actual sea. The recommended soak time is 15-20 minutes. They’re convenient for shorter, controlled experiences and are temperature-regulated.
The Kidos club provides supervised activities with professional tutors, toys, video games, and age-appropriate programming. Pricing varies by room package and season. Ask at booking what’s included in your specific rate. It’s a genuine asset for families needing flexibility.
It depends on your rate package. The Shaked Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet-style. Complimentary beer and soft drinks are included at dinner-a notable perk. Check your booking details for what’s included. Ein Bokek’s dining options are nearby if you want variety.
Both are Isrotel properties in Ein Bokek. Nevo offers private balconies; Noga’s rooms don’t. Noga has the Kidos children’s club and terrace rooms with private gardens. Both have mineral pools. Noga positions itself as slightly more family-focused. Choose based on your priorities: balcony access or garden space and kids’ programming.
