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.
Not only because on any given day or any given time, the differences in lighting never stop to amaze you, but because you just have to travel a little to witness an infinity of colors and textures.Krivine Guesthouse is ideally situated to discover a large range of desert landscapes:
From the golden stone desert of Sde Boker area at our doorstep…
…to the darker colors of the Ramon crater (30 minutes drive)…
… from the sandy dunes of the Nitzana area (45 minutes drive),
… to the colorful sands in the big crater (Yeruham Crater) 30 minutes away…
… and to the lunar landscape of the Dead Sea (via the Scorpion Ascent (1h30 drive),
Beer Sheva, the least visited, fastest growing Israeli city with its large Russian-language and Bedouin populations living together is only 35 minutes away.
All this make the Sde Boker area the perfect hub to settle down for a few days and use us as a basis to discover all these wonders.
