History
Ein Besor was an Egyptian First Dynasty Staging Post along the "ways of Horus" trade route in the northern Negev. The staging post was contemporary with Tell es-Sakan.[2][3] The modern moshav was established in 1982. Some of the residents were from Sadot, an Israeli settlement in the Sinai Peninsula evacuated after signing of the Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty.[4]
