Negev Tourism

There are some off-the-beaten track historical and natural sites that merit a visit when in the Negev. Some of the names worth mentioning are:

• The Ramon Crater: It is the most interesting landscape in the Negev desert. It is the largest erosion crater in the world, 40 km long, 9 km wide and approximately 300 meters deep.
• The Zin Valley: This surrounds the beautiful Zin River that snakes along at the bottom of the Valley and includes many Zin springs that have their sources here.
• The cities to visit include Arad, a modern town; Beer Sheva, one of the earliest towns dating back to biblical times; Eilat, the tourist capital of Negev and Rahat, a Bedouin city.
