While many travelers pass through the Ramon Crater on their way to, or from Eilat, not many have been to the western edge. This isolated region, close to the Egyptian border is dominated by lone peaks and dark volcanic hills.
This area offers a unique setting to really take in the wide desert landscapes, and enjoy the tranquility of the wilderness, in this very special spring we hope to see many wild flowers, including the wild Rhubarb that blossoms only during rainy years.
On this moderate level hike we will pass through 16Km in and out of the Ramon Crater including the dark volcanic, prism canyon and the mysterious cairns of Mt. Ido, and Mt. Ramon: the highest peak in the Negev (1035m above sea level)
The hike is suitable for both beginner and seasoned hikers alike.
In case the rare wild Rhubarb plants will bloom, we may also cover the Arod stream, extending the trail to 18Km total.
Trip cost: 199 NIS.
Early sale tickets will be sold for 179 NIS in limited quantity.
