General Description Solomon's Pools are located in the south-central West Bank, immediately to the south of the Palestinian village of al-Khader and about 5 kilometres southwest of Bethlehem.
The pools consist of three open cisterns, each rectilinear pool with a 6 metres drop to the next, fed from an underground spring. With each pool being over 100 metres long, 65 metres (213 ft) wide and 10 metres deep, the total water capacity is approximately 200,000,000 litres. Consequently the pools have played a significant role in the area's water supply for centuries.
