Begin your day with a pickup from your Tel Aviv hotel and travel to the Negev Mountains. Your first stop is the Kibbutz Sde Boker, where Israel’s first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion, and his wife, Pola, spent their last years. Visit the kibbutz, Ben Gurion's private barrack, and the family tomb, with a fascinating view opening from it.
Next, head to Ein Avdat, an ancient Nabatean city on the historical Roman Spice Route. Learn about the Nabateans, who turned Christians and ruled over the famous Spice Route from Saudi Arabia to Rome. Explore Ein Avdat, a World Heritage Site, and one of the best-preserved Nabatean cities.
Continue to the town of Mitzpe Ramon, which sits at the top of the world-famous Ramon Canyon. Admire the unique geological formation, “Makhtesh,” which has become an international term. The Ramon Makhtesh is the world’s largest erosion canyon, created 220 million years ago when ancient oceans covered this area.
Enjoy an unforgettable view of the Makhtesh moon-like landscape. Here, you can also visit a camel farm and take a breathtaking camel ride into the desert. Finally, return to your Tel Aviv hotel.
