Try Eco-Camping in Mitzpe Ramon

The town of Mitzpe Ramon sits on the northern cliffs of Ramon Crater, the world’s largest erosion crater, or makhtesh. The Ramon Crater is a 40-kilometre-long heartshaped natural wonder, and doubles as Israel’s largest national park; it is also known as Ramon Nature Reserve. Located on the edge of the Ramon Crater, in the middle of Negev Desert, Desert Shade Eco Camp (desert-shade.com) offers stays in ecological tents built with recycled material. A short walk away from the town of Mitzpe Ramon, the camping site is the perfect base to explore the heart of the crater. Consider guided walking trails and a tour of Bio Ramon, a botanical ecological garden that is home to 40 species of small desert creatures. israel.travel
