What people are saying about Negev Desert

the guide took us to the mining place from this century, what was very nice experience even before the Timna… then we went to Timna park where we stopped on some nice places, like the ancient mining spots, solomon pillars, the mushroom rock and finally near to the lake to make some color sand bottles. To go by jeep on the main road - with strong wind against you is cool experience. I would prefer to spend little more time on the stops… especially on the solomon pillars and for us personally we would love if the tabernacle tour was included in the trip - or have it as a option. Because of not having time to go to the tabernacle, we visited the park day after on our own.

it was about an hour on the camel and then time to relax while the guide made for us tea and bread on the fire and brought very tasty cheese and vegetables. We really enjoyed it!

The only negative event was the hood of the jeep popped off while we were driving and it could have caused a serious problem but it didn’t

We enjoyed the tour, interesting history, we liked going off road in the Land Rover Defender. Alex was great.

Punctual and friendly service with absolutely stunning views.
