Stargazing

Many people do not know that Mitzpe Ramon Crater is designated as a stunning and unique stargazing reserve. This is one of the most amazing observation points, where in the evening and at night, magnificent skies are revealed, filled with an endless number of stars, as you have never seen before.

When the light of day disappears, the stars fill the sky with a light and sparkle that is second to none. This is the time to take a telescope and focus on the amazing details in the stars, the map of astronomy, and the secrets hidden in the skies.

A night stargazing tour with ‘Desert Time’ takes place in the heart of Ramon Crater with professional telescopes and accompanied by professional guides who explain in depth about the night sky, space, star clusters, the hidden secrets of the sky, and provide a close and amazing view of the stars. Of course, they do not skip over fairy tales either.

All the explanations and stories are conveyed to you, around a warm bonfire, light refreshments, and hot tea. To upgrade the experience, you can also order a desert meal in advance.

The outing for observation is suitable for families, large and small groups, corporate events, team building days, special and festive events.
