Excursion «503. Star Reserve. Night tour»

The star reserve is enchanting. Night trip

We will begin our journey with a visit to the grave of Ben Gurion and the observation deck to the Qing Valley.
Exclusively! Let's find out the secret that Ben Gurion kept until his death.

Then the excursion will continue through the Negev Desert.
We will see the all-seeing eye of the desert.
Lunar landscapes, a sense of unreality. As if you are watching a fantastic movie about distant planets, and are not on your home planet Earth.

Mountains not covered with forests, folds of land, incredible geological phenomena. Here you can see firsthand how the Earth's crust moved, how its landscapes were created. And not only geology.

The Negev are amazing stories about the biblical history and plants, and about the development of land by people, which God commanded mankind. There is no analogue to this hiking trail in the Negev desert, which can be used by the whole family.

The end point of the route is the crater (in Hebrew "makhtesh") Mitzpe Ramon. This is an unusual place. The International Dark Sky Association has declared it the International Dark Sky Conservation Area. Mitspe Ramon is the first location in the Middle East to receive this status.
Many countries now share this position and organize dark sky sanctuaries, protected from light pollution. An erosion crater in the Negev Desert is one such site. Here we will be able to admire the clear starry sky, which you will not see anywhere else in the country.
We will have a unique, of its kind, interactive observation of the stars.
