To become familiar with the surprisingly diverse ecosystem of wildlife and vegetation hidden along the way of the Negev desert trails and meet with the people inhibiting the area on a Negev desert tour.

Enjoy Mitzpe Ramon jeep tours, ride on our 4X4 vehicle that sits up to 7 passengers, in a pleasant climate controlled cabin, equipped with an advance suspension system to keep you comfortable through the bumpy track ahead.

Where to Go and What to See

 

Our most popular desert jeep tours are family friendly and require no special skills. However, if you have a specific interest to investigate deeper into any of the exotic features that this piece of land has to offer (history, plants, food, people, desert agriculture etc.), please let us know and we will be happy to suggest a Negev desert tour tailored just for you. We especially recommend our the Ramon crater jeep tours.

All you need to do is to let us know where you would like us to pick you (within Mizpe Ramon, unless you request otherwise), and we will show up with our premium vehicle and take you with us on a jeep tour into the heart of the desert. The most popular Negev desert tours commonly leave from Mitzpe Ramon heading to the Ramon crater (Makhtesh Ramon), the  Zin Valley , to a Bedouin hospitality or a local deluxe vinery – see more details above and in the links added.

Makhtesh Ramon: A Geological Wonder Like No Other

When most people hear the word “crater,” they picture a violent meteorite impact leaving a massive hole in the ground. However, Makhtesh Ramon is something completely unique. Instead of an asteroid strike, this incredible landform was carved out over millions of years by a rare process of natural erosion.

A Journey Through Earth’s Ancient History

As you explore the eroded geological layers of Makhtesh Ramon, you are reading an epic story of Earth's past. The colorful rock formations expose ancient marine fossils from an era when this high desert plateau was actually the floor of an ocean.

Desert Wildlife & Flash-Flood Wonders

Though dry and barren at first glance, the crater is teeming with desert life:

Wildlife: Asiatic wild asses (Onagers), Nubian ibexes, raptors, reptiles, and unique insects thrive within this delicate ecosystem.

Flora & Floods: Powered by seasonal desert flash floods, resilient vegetation has adapted to overcome the harsh environmental conditions.

Depending on the season, you might witness the awesome force of a live flash flood or cool off by dipping your feet into refreshing seasonal pools left in their wake.

Zin Valley Jeep Tour

    ein akev spring jeep tour

      About 30 Km north from Mitzpe Ramon and the Makhtesh Ramon crater, just below Kibbutz Sde Boker - lays the ZIn valley. The Zin valley is a sub-fracture of the biggest and longest tectonic fractures on the globe, the Syrian-African rift valley. Therefore it holds some of the more dramatic Negev desert landscapes. The Zin valley is also home to a few hidden springs, with the biggest and most famous of them being the Ein-Akev spring. Ein Akev is one of the biggest springs of the Negev desert.

      There is nothing quite like water in the middle of desert and Ein Akev is a beautiful spring holding water throughout the year and offering the opportunity for a cool dip on a hot desert day. Come with us on a jeep tour to the ZIn Valley and observe the dramatic views, learn of the geology and nature and enjoy the water.
