Mitzpe Ramon is the town that overlooks the incredible crater of Makhtesh Ramon. For a few years some unusual hotels have been opening in this little town. It's a good place to stay to explore the crater.

Middle East

Shalom and welcome to Israël! Did you imagine lands dating back to the time of Moses? Israël has become a very modern country, with overwhelming technological advances: the GDP per capita of this tiny country is just behind the UK on a global scale! To come to Israël, is to immerse yourself in a land where legend and reality are intimately linked. From the little streets in Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives,, from the fortress of Massada, in Sinaï, to the wailing wall in Tel Aviv; there isn’t one place that hasn’t been mentioned in a historical text... and it’s for the best! However, Israël, isn’t only about that: the coastal resort of Eilat, the shores of the Dead Sea or even the long walks in the desert are all options for excursions, walks and adventures, just waiting to be lived. Why not also try and visit Palestine, where you will be welcomed by a proud and warm populace, always happy to share their history and amazing heritage, built up over thousands of years by different cultures who have resided there. So don’t be intimidated and go and explore this unknown land, to discover, day after day, the thousand and one facets of an extraordinary destination!

Red Sea

The favorite seaside resort of Russian oligarchs and salt water bathing fans: the Dead Sea.

On this little portion of the Middle East, no larger than the size of Austria, the beauty of culture and nature permanently compete with one another. See for yourself: you are in one of the cradles of humanity and history in this land stretching back over more than 9 millennia. During your vacation in Jordan, you will peruse a life-sized history book. It only requires travelling to Jordan to experience it: from the banks of the enigmatic Dead Sea to the Jordan Valley passing via the superb city of Petra, rendered eternally famous by Spielberg in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Biblical echoes mix with those of Greco-Roman ruins. As far as nature is concerned, you will also be captured by the beauties of Jordan: At the top of the list, the desert of Wadi Rum, called “the valley of the Moon,” is a harmony of colours where rocks, sand, granite and sandstone intertwine to create the most magnificent life-sized murals. In addition, the deep canyons of the desert or the colourful underwater floors of the Red Sea will not fail to enchant you...

Each time that I show friends around Israel, I take them to Ein Gedi and I can say that no one is ever disappointed! On this one site you have one of the most beautiful kibbutz' in the country, a Dead Sea beach with lots of facilities and a nature reserve with an oasis There are also lots of other activities and everything that it is possible to do at the Dead Sea can be done on one site. Of the three, I prefer the natural reserve. There are different types of walk to do but you don't have to take a long and difficult walk to find places to bathe. The reserve has two "wadis" (or valleys). The most visited and easiest to get to is Wadi David. The second, which is a little wilder, is Wadi Arugot. To really enjoy Ein Gedi nature reserve during your <a href="/israel/">trip to Israel </a>, it's better to go there in the middle of week and not in summer.
