Traveling to Israel was a very cool experience! Between the great meals, the nightlife and the laid-back vibes, there’s also a lot of cool things to do in Israel that also have to do with the great outdoors!
There’s not only the Dead Sea! I recently talked about Masada and Ein Gedi which are two interesting stops to consider in Israel, but let’s explore some of the crazy experiences you should try out while in Israel beyond the Dead Sea!
In this article, we’ll concentrate on Makhtesh Ramon area which is basically in Israel Negev Desert.

The best way to get to this area is by car! Renting your own car gives you the freedom you’ll need to make the most of this area and enjoy the epic views on the way!
You can find some great viewpoints along the road, and possibly some secret spots if you talk with the locals!

While we were in the area we had the privilege to experience the Bedouin hospitality with Salman at the Hidden Village. He shared stories from its childhood, we ate a delicious meal and we played with the kids! It was very interesting to learn about their lifestyle and ideology!
You can find more details about this experience here to organize your own visit!

Glamping in Israel
Fun in Israel – Glamping Israel
When I heard we would sleep in the desert with Happy Glamper I was super excited! I love camping, and glamping sounded even better! Happy Glamper provides what you need for the perfect off-the-grid experience!
That night the wind was pretty strong – my tent collapsed on me during the middle of the night, but it was actually super funny! It got fixed really quickly and I returned to my super comfortable bed!
I would definitely recommend them! Learn more about Happy Glamper!

The initial plan was to go for a sunrise hike at Saharonim Mountain. The plan changed a little bit and we reached the viewpoint by jeep. Our guide Yotam showed us around and told us about the crater. Then we went to explore another spot, which was super pretty! His knowledge of the desert was captivating!
