"Desert Days" eco-lodge is located close to the village of Tzukim, just west of the Arava Highway in the heart of the desert. Our eco-lodge has 13 earth cabins, suitable for couples and families, which we built with our own hands according to the principles of eco-construction. We used homemade mud bricks, straw and a mud plaster finish. The huts can accommodate up to six persons. Each hut has a sleeping area (low double bed with two extra mattresses which can be added at the sides), a sitting area (two additional mattresses) with a wood burning stove, a "coffee corner" or mini kitchen, a shower with constant hot water, and ecological toilet. Each hut has its own private yard with an earth-built bench, hammock and place for an open fire, supplied with wood. The view of the Arava desert landscape together with the earthen building creates an atmosphere of tranquility and closeness to nature.
