We are always impressed by the wonders created by nature.

We INVITE YOU to join us in visiting the MAKRTESH GADOL, which is not only unique but also stands out from other craters in Israel with its wide range of colors due to the presence of various colored minerals in the sandstone. This creates an incomparable and vibrant landscape.

The crater is located near the city of YERUCHAM, on the outskirts of which you will find the ancient well of Be'er Rahma. According to legends, it is here that the biblical Hagar drew water for her son Ishmael.

Next, we will head to the YERUCHAM LAKE, which is situated in the heart of the Negev Desert at an elevation of 520 meters above sea level.

We will visit an ancient Nabatean city located on the Incense Route, where you will see the remains of a Nabatean city from Roman and Byzantine times.

And lastly, we will capture stunning photos at Mount Sodom, where the "Cave of Lot" and the pillar of salt known as the "Lot's Wife" are located.
