Mizpe Ramon Travel Guide

 Martin_S. Says:  At Mitzpe Ramon you have, of course, the Ramon Crater, or Maktesh as it is called in Hebrew.Enjoy an evening on a jeep trip along the bottom of the crater, it is many, many kilometers long. But the best part is the last minutes of the daylight when the sun progresses... 

 Martin_S. Says:  Just at the city's southern border you can find the Maktesh Rimon visitors center. From there you have a perfect viewing station to see some of the sights from the crater rim. While it cannot compare to the Grand Canyon for sheer size, it does have its own beauty.We took... 

 Oana_bic Says:  On our way from the Dead Sea to Eilat, we took this one - breathtaking landscapes!Mitzpe Ramon's biggest sight is the Ramon Crater, 500 meters deep, 40 kilometers long, 10 kilometers at its widest, and claimed to be the largest in the world. This is not, however, an asteroid... 

 Bregman Says:  The Ramon Crater is the largest amongst the three craters of the Negev, shich makes it the largest in the world... These craters were not created by meteorites but are a unique geological phenomenon, not to be found anywhere else in the world.The entire crater is a... 

 Bregman Says:  No real restaurants in the crater, only this bedouin tent. This is the perfect place to relax in the shade during a hot summer day or warm a little in a cold winter day, with a glass of a strong bedouin tea. The tent doesn't serve real meals, but you can get some light... 

 Carmela71 Says:  At around 45 km south from Beersheva on the Road 40, you will find the North aprking.Go left to Ben-Gurion's burial ground and them you will see the signs for Ein Avdat.There are two entrances, but we took the northern one at the bottom of the canyon. The souther one is just... 

 Carmela71 Says:  Ibexes are not afraid of humans and you will see soon the photos to prove it.Also is home of the griffon and other birds of prey. Before the sunset ibex go out and start looking for food and water, or when you have a sandstorm and there are only 3 strange humans around ;-) 

 ophiro Says:  Although it can be a must see activity it can be also very dangerous to meet an Ibex with you car or while walking around.Pay attention and if you see one (or more) don't make him angry , take a pictutre say hello and leave him alone. 

 ophiro Says:  This is a desert so in the summer it can be very hot and dry , so if you are in the area don't forget to use a hat , sun cream and carry water.On the other hand , the area is a little bit high so during the winter it can be very cold and it snows once in a while. 

 ophiro Says:  While you are driving in the area pay attention to the road , it is very curvy and sometimes with different angles and a lot of people drive here very fast because there are no traffic policemen.We saw a accident here with a car that turn in a bad way and bumbed into a rock. 

 Martin_S. Says:  The Ammonite Trail is just south of Mitzpe Ramon, on the right side of the road (just keep a lookout for the sign after you leave the confines of the Maktesh). This is an area of an ancient seabed and as the weather wears away layers of rock, sand and debris you can often...
