About This Tour
Embark on a captivating journey through the Negev Desert. Begin at Kibbutz Sde Boker, where David Ben-Gurion’s modest desert home remains preserved exactly as he left it, with his books, letters, and simple furnishings. A short drive brings you to the Ben-Gurion Tomb, overlooking the dramatic cliffs of the Zin Canyon. This peaceful viewpoint, framed by sweeping desert horizons, reflects Ben-Gurion’s deep belief in the beauty and promise of the Negev. Continue to the ancient Nabatean city of Avdat, perched on a high desert plateau along the historic Incense Route. The site’s remarkably preserved temples, wine presses, fortifications, and Byzantine churches reveal the creativity and resilience of the Nabateans who once thrived here. End your tour at the majestic Makhtesh Ramon—the world’s largest erosion crater. With its multicolored rock layers, towering cliffs, and immense open spaces, this natural wonder offers an unforgettable finale to your Negev adventure.
