The generation that founded Ofira is getting older and some of them are already gone.

Not long ago, 40 years have passed since the evacuation of Ofira in light of the peace agreement with Egypt. In order to preserve the memories of the generation that built Ophira and the younger generation that grew up there at the same time, we established the site where you are staying. Here you can read stories of the generation that founded Ofira in the middle of nowhere and built a community of people who made a decent living and raised glorious families. You can browse the photos and watch videos from the time and understand what Ophir looked like in those days.
