The Ramon Crater is a rare geological wonder created millions of years ago by the process of erosion. It is so rare that in fact the correct geological term, in English, is the Hebrew name Machtesh (or Maktesh) which literaly means mortar as in pestel and mortar. There are a total of seven Machteshim in the whole world, all of them in the same region
Join us for a special jeep tour in the crater, learn how it was formed, see some of the wildlife and plants that have adapted to the desert climate and thrive in this seemingly barren region. Let us share with you the wonderous Negev desert
We offer two standard jeep tours into the Ramon crater, a 2.5 hour basic tour: The Ramon Crater in a Nutshell, and a more in depth 4 hour tour: Discovering the Ramon Crater
