Most visitors to the Negev Highland avoid the summer ( which is a big fat mistake). They come mainly between October and April and here’s the reasons why: the weather in the Negev is gorgous. 90% of the days are dry and cool with bright sunshine; temperatures around 20 C.
When I came to Israel from England 33 years ago, I stumbled into this village, a university research campus with a ridiculous view into the desert, the people were kind, unspoilt and welcoming.
From here you are never far from all the attractions in the area, so by putting down your suitcases at Krivine Guesthouse for a few days you will be able to do much more than exploring the immediate surroundings.
Our village is essentially a university campus named after Ben Gurion. He is buried here, in fact our guesthouse is just 400 meters from the grave site.
The Negev desert in Israel has been branded the world most friendly desert because of its relatively mild climate, excellent accessibility and small size. Our visitors are always surprised to discover how incredibly diverse a desert can be.
