The Negev desert

The Negev desert is Israel's hottest and driest region, yet it's also one of its most beautiful. This is definitely one of the top Things about Israel You Should Know. In reality, it's a great area to drive through (with the AC on) and take in the scenery. Many travelers advise visiting Eilat, but also spend some time in the Negev Desert. It features a few fantastic things to do and see that are ideal for a stopover or, even better, a night in the desert.

The spectacular Mitzpe Ramon crater, Timna Park, and several picturesque canyons, springs, and trails may all be found in the Negev desert. Among these, you should note the Red Canyon, which has a really wonderful, daring, and interesting hike. The Red Canyon hike is only a few miles long, but it's well worth it. During the hike, you must descend utilizing metal bars, ladders, and footholds in the rocks. It's a lot of fun, and it's not as hazardous as it sounds.
