Come and discover the wonders of the Ramon Crater, a unique natural wonder in the heart of the Negev Desert. Stretching 40 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide, this huge crater wasn’t formed by a volcano or a meteor but by millions of years of natural erosion. Even though it looks ancient, the crater is still revealing new surprises, from rare fossils and impressive rock formations to a wide variety of desert wildlife.
People have been drawn to this area for centuries, from ancient traders to today’s adventurers. If you’re looking for some excitement, you can explore the crater by hiking, taking a jeep tour, stargazing, or even trying rappelling down the cliffs. The Ramon Visitor Center at the crater’s edge offers a closer look at the incredible history and nature of this special place.
Make sure to visit the Ramon Crater on your next trip to Israel, it’s an experience you won’t forget!
