Day 9
Leave Eilat and drive northward via the Negev Desert to Mitzpe Ramon, located on the edge of a unique geological wonder. It is a phenomenon known as a Makhtesh: a huge crater developed by water erosion on top of a mountain ridge. There are three Makhteshim in Israel, which are the only formations of their kind in the world.
Hike in Nahal Nekarot in the Ramon Crater, Enjoy a visit to the local Alpaca Farm, and you can even play "Desert Archery" -- a game the whole family will enjoy, using bows and arrows to shoot big targets as you hike.
Choose from a wide variety of outdoor sports options, such as mountain biking (bikes are for rent at or through your hotel), rock-climbing and rappelling, all within a few minutes' walk from the town center.
Overnight: in Mitzpe Ramon.
