Metzoke Dragot Travelers Village
About This Place
Metzoke Dragot Travelers Village sits on a cliff ledge 20 metres above the Judean Desert, with views east toward the Dead Sea and the Moab Mountains. It is one of the most dramatic sleeping positions on the Israeli side of the Dead Sea — not a resort, but a genuine travellers village that has grown organically over the years to host hikers, families, couples, and groups.
The village offers several tiers of accommodation on the same site: a campsite for those who bring their own tent, shared travellers rooms, boutique Tenty glamping units with glass-door views directly onto the Dead Sea, sea-facing Mul Yam rooms, and fully-equipped Top of the Cliff apartments that sleep up to eight. Metzoke Bar, open every day at the cliff edge, serves coffee, alcohol, food, and snacks — it is not kosher. A therapy cabin and occasional live concerts round out the experience. This is a place that rewards unhurried people.

Accommodation
The Tenty units are the signature option: 18 m² boutique glamping cabins with glass doors that frame an unobstructed Dead Sea view, a double bed, TV, coffee machine, and private shower. An outdoor paddling pool sits on the shared patio. Minimum two-night stay applies on weekends and holidays.
Travellers Rooms (Arava, Ye’elim, and Nof Dragot) are simple and functional. Each has a coffee corner, mini-fridge, air conditioning, private shower and toilet, and a shared patio. Arava offers a double or twin; Ye’elim fits 2–4 single beds; Nof Dragot fits a double plus three singles — useful for small families or friend groups.
Top of the Cliff apartments are the largest option at 80 m² each, sleeping up to eight. Two en-suite bedrooms (one double, four singles total), a living room with sofa-bed, and a fully equipped kitchen make these suitable for families or groups. Crib available on request.
The campsite accommodates those who bring their own tent. The Mul Yam category offers sea-view rooms — full details via the official site. All rooms except the campsite include towels and bedding.
