Mitzpe Ramon Jeep Tours: A Journey Through the Heart of Negev Desert

Are you up for some adventure for your next holiday trip? Consider taking a Mitzpe Ramon jeep tour. The diverse landscape of Israel offers endless possibilities of adventure and thrill to travellers. The place is full of natural wonders and hidden beauties that you can explore only on four wheels.

Mitzpe Ramon is one such place located at the edge of the world’s largest erosion crater. The scenic beauty and the wonderful views of the Negev Desert will amaze you. If you travel through this place by taking a jeep journey, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you. Wondering what is so special about this place? Well, let’s find out then. 

The Thrill of a Jeep Ride

Once you take a jeep ride through the uneven and rugged paths of Israel, you will discover that 4-wheel-drive riding is an adventure in itself. The path of the Negev Desert is rough and difficult to travel through by any other means. Once you start ascending and descending through the slopes of the crater, you can take in the beautiful view of this special landscape.

The tour operators design the jeep tours to be safe and exciting at the same time. You can enjoy the expertise of skilled drivers rushing jeeps through the desert path. This type of riding will give you an adrenaline rush that you will not forget. The paths through the rocks and dunes are truly something that you have never experienced before.

Exploring the Wonders of the Desert 

There are several iconic places near Mitzpe Ramon that you can explore through a jeep ride. The Ramon Crater itself is a historical treasure apart from being a visual spectacle. Jeep tour guides will explain the magical natural procedure that created this place.

The Ramon Crater is the biggest erosion crater in the world, an erosion “bath” formed by soft sand layers being swept by rivers more than 200 million years ago. The size of the Ramon Crater is 42km in length and 11km wide.

The guides will often take you to the “Carpentry Shop” which is one of the popular attractions. The Carpentry Shop is where natural quartz and sandstones have taken the form of scattered wooden logs.

Another remarkable place is the “Ammonite Wall” which is a cliff created from the ammonite fossils of the ancient marine creatures that lived in the sea here. Ammonites are a class of extinct mollusks that lived more than 200 million years ago. The wall is made of stone from the Cretaceous geological period that lasted from 145 to 66 million years ago.

Jeeping in Israel Sunset Tour 

If you are taking a jeep tour to Mitzpe Ramon, you should not miss the sunset tour. When the warmth of the day decreases gradually, the landscape of the area also changes. The colour of the setting sun gets scattered everywhere and colour the sandy area with the hues of orange, gold and pink.

The shadow of the dunes and rocks creates an otherworldly atmosphere. You can stop and experience the sunset as you end your magnificent journey. Jeeping in Israel is a magical experience and fills your heart with joy. The sunset from the Negev Desert is a perfect ending to your day.
