The ANZAC Memorial Center in Be’er Sheva was built in cooperation with the governments of Australia and Israel, the Be’er Sheva municipality, the JNF, JNF Australia and the CWGC. The Center is located near the cemetery for combatants of the First World War in Be’er Sheva. The ANZAC Memorial Center is a unique place in Israel that tells the story of the soldiers of the ANZAC and their conquest in the land of Israel. Pre-bookings are advisable.

This new museum is an intimate, simple and poignant place that pays fitting tribute to the brave young men who fought, and in several cases died, here. The guided tour (in English) that we and another Australian family were given, together with a film, photographic displays, archival footage and the powerful solemnity of the war graves cemetery, give a good understanding of the events which the Centre commemorates, without overwhelming. It’s advisable to book by phone. I had trouble initially communicating with the Centre. The online email form didn’t seem to work, and the person who answered the phone didn’t speak English. However when I phoned again later I got onto someone who did speak English, booked us for the tour, and gave good advice regarding public transport. We caught the 470 bus from the Jerusalem central bus station and changed to a local bus in Beersheva, aided by google maps. It was straightforward. I think this would appeal to anyone with an interest in history, and especially to Australians, New Zealanders and British visitors.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 21 reviews
The first Prime Minister of Israel, David Ben-Gurion, is regarded as one of the most important individuals in modern Israeli history. Upon his retirement from politics he moved to a small Kibbutz in the middle of the Negev. This "desert home" is where Ben-Gurion spent the last years of his life, and per his will, was kept in its original condition and made into a museum for the public.

It touches your heart seeing the humble dwelling of David Ben Gurion. No wonder he was "father of his country". You cannot have anything other than sheer respect for Ben Gurion.
