The "Nagaria" (Woodshop)
by Martin_S.
The Nagaria (Woodshop) is also sometimes called in Hebrew "HaMinsara". You can see this geological oddity from the Makhtesh Crater rim. It is just below and to the left of the visitors center on the crater floor, you can recognize it by its blackish/greyish color which stands out from the beige of the typical desert landscape. There is a wooden marked path that takes you around the area so you can see the Quarzite stones up close. These are very similar to other areas like the Giants Causeway....
I have added a link to some extra information if you are interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makhtesh_Ramon

It is a beautiful, steep waterfall where one can find ibexes, specially under a sandstorm as we had the pleasure to had, thanks to Martin lol (I am sure you ordered for us to experience it and to avoid the BBQ, hahahaha, just kidding) Ein means spring and Ein Avdat is a beautiful spring located in between the city of Avdat and Sede Boker.

The Ein Avdat national park shows as the great canyon in its lenght at the Negev.
At the opening of the canyon you can see the water descends into two deep pools in a series of waterfalls.
The pools in Ein Avdat were incredible, ummm and lots of little frogs lol
Yes...Finally here they are...

Well guess what ?? You came to Israel to see camels and instead you found a western country by all meanings and you were disappointed ha ?....
So you can see those Camels but normally only in the south of Israel ...from the Negev area (mosty) and further south.
You see them at that area cause this is where most bedouin lives in and they own all this sheeps goats camels and cows but we'll talk about he bedouins in the next tip.
This damn cammel was standing on that road doing faces to the camera and later on he was going intimidating two guys whom was walking there....i think he has definitely felt like this road was his... it was quite funny.
Call of the Wild
by Bregman
Well, I'm not sure this qualifies as a "local custom" but one thing which is special about Mizpe Ramon is the proximity of the desert wild life. Several years ago someone had found an exhausted leopard resting on the stairs. While this is really rare due to the small number of leopards, it's much easier to see some wild ibexes grazing on someone's back yard.
