We see things we like, things that catch our fancy and sometimes we want to take them home with us. Our guestrooms are littered with them.
Month: April 2019
Har Avnon
Har Avnon is a short stopover on your drive from our guesthouse to the Dead Sea. It is a lookout that allows you to see the Big Crater – recently renamed Yeruham Crater – (which you are about to cross) in its entirety. Of course it’s not actually a crater but you already know that.
To get to it,
Visiting the Negev in the Spring
Although every season is a good season to visit the Negev (see our post about winter and summer), spring is considered to be the best season to do so.
Spring in Israel is not a real season. It is still very much part of the winter when you have a difference between gorgeous days (the vast majority) and rainy days. February, March and April are the most popular months for visiting the Negev. You have more chance of having gorgeous weather, between 20-25C, than say December or January. Although of course, there is no guarantee. Actually, this year, we had our first rain at the end of February and it has rained several times in March. Last year, the biggest floods occurred at the end of April…
Renting a bike
I have a confession to make. I am not exactly a lover of the great outdoors. In fact, before we started writing this blog, my idea of a perfect and well spend day involved a good book and comfortable mattress.
Ezra Orion
“No prophet is recognized in his own country.”
Ezra Orion was a controversial Israeli artist. In 1988, at a meeting at NASA headquarters in Washington, he proposed erecting a line of stones on Mars using a space vehicle.
Hamukei Nitzana – Nitzana Hillocks
I’m not sure you want to drive 50 minutes from our guesthouse just for this, but if you are planning to visit Shivta and eat at Café Ezuz then the Nitzana Hillocks would be a fine additional activity.
