Ramon Crater

Reviewed By Travels-with-Claire

The Ramon Crater is truly a world wonder. Located in the Negev desert, approximately 2-2.5 hours south of Tel Aviv, it rivals the Grand Canyon in sheer scope and beauty. There are many jeep tours offered but we opted to simply drive down into the crater ourselves and hiked the well marked trails on our own. The vistas are simply beautiful and even the pictures do not do justice the the sheer beauty. As an unexpected but delightful 'add -on', we were able to see a family of magnificent Ibex, up close and personal. It was awe inspiring when the extraordinary horns first appeared on top of a cliff. More extraordinary was to see the family descent the vertical rock face with ease, cross the highway, and go wander into the crater. They are clearly accustomed to people and even from a practically touching distance, they exhibited neither aggression nor fear. Indeed, they seemed quite patient in personality. How beautiful to see them against the backdrop of the crater. Tip: Particularly in the wintertime, the Negev Desert and Ramon Crater can be prone to unexpected flash floods. At the very least, they can wash out roads that prohibit entry into the crater. At their worst, it has been documented that the floods can sweep away people and vehicles and there have been fatalities as a result. Exercise caution and check weather reports. Otherwise, do not miss this simply glorious area!

Astronomy Israel

Thanks for your interest in my star tours. My tours last about two hours, usually starting at 9:30pm or sometimes 6:00pm/6:30pm in the winter. The first half we do naked eye observing of the sky, identifying constellations, learning star lore, understanding how the sky works; the second half we go to the telescopes to view the best sights of the night. I set up my "portable observatory" in the desert behind Mitzpe Ramon, meet people at their hotels and guide them up to my observing location. We provide chairs and blankets for everyone, and No, no walking is required. The planets and stars are too far away! We let our eyes do the walking. I can usually take people in my own car up to my observing location. But if my car is full I may ask you to follow me in yours the short distance to my observing location (about 3 kilometers) behind town. No four-wheel drive needed.

Adam Sela

We have been leading desert adventure tours in the Negev since 1991, We host most of our activities "in house" using a well trained team of expert guides. Part of any adventure is meeting the locals and learning about them and their lifstyles. We encourage our staff to give back to the community and when not 'at work' they can often be found volunteering with the regional Search and Rescue Team or providing medical assistance as first responders or volunteering with the regional Border Police units or volunteering with the National Parks Service helping preserve the region's wild life. Our back office, expertly run by Pazit, leaves the team to be with you and not fielding phone calls or running around the next or last client. This also means that 5 days a week, during office hours, Pazit is available to help you set up your Negev adventure. After the office 'closes' the calls bounce on to Adam who is ever happy to help. We look forward to being part of your Israel and Negev adventure - join us for an unforgetable wilderness experience. Guided jeep tours, camping safaris, star gazing, rappelling, canyoning, zip lines, out door catering, hikes, mountain bicycles and much more....
