The modern settlement was formed in close proximity to the ancient settlement of Arad mentioned in the Bible. Every year thousands of people come to the hotels and clinics of this town, who want to get better and rest on the shores of this unique lake.

The ancient city of Ein - Gedi over many centuries of its existence has been completely destroyed several times and passed from one source to another. Now this territory belongs to Israel and next to the ancient ruins there is a prosperous kibbutz (a voluntary community of people who organized a settlement on the principle of joint ownership of property, voluntary labor - "the principles of communism in one community"). The population fruitfully grows dates and flowers, is engaged in poultry farming. The community has established the production of mineral water and the production of cosmetic products based on the products of the Dead Sea - the world-famous brand "Ahava".

It is named after the name drying out during a hot period, the stream Zohar ("shining"). After the evaporation of water, multiple conglomerates of the crystallized salt glistening in the sun remain on the bottom of the bed. On the territory of the village there are also ruins of Roman-Byzantine constructions, multiple cave burials of that period.
