Hotels in Negev, Israel

The Negev is a vast desert region in southern Israel, famous for its dramatic craters like Makhtesh Ramon, ancient Nabatean cities like Avdat, and stunning stargazing skies. With mild winters (50-70°F / 10-21°C), you can hike through the Ramon Crater and explore Bedouin hospitality from November to March, while the scorching summers (up to 104°F / 40°C) are best for early morning treks or visiting the cooler highlands around Mitzpe Ramon. Distinct areas like the northern Negev's lush canyons at Ein Avdat and the southern Arava's dry desert plains offer unique hiking and history experiences for different seasons.
