Ramon Visitors Center

The makhteshim, looking like enormous basins opened up among the Negev ranges, are a natural phenomenon which is unique in the world. The 40-km long Makhtesh Ramon is the largest and most impressive, and visitors are provided a glimpse of the magic and secrets of the desert.

As you stand on the rim of the makhtesh, the beautiful and impressive desert scenery is spread out before you. However, it is recommended not just to settle for a wonderful view, but to actually get into it – to go down into the makhtesh, to learn its pathways and unique sites close up and to enjoy the “window” which it opens into the ancient geological worlds of fossils, colorful sands, volcanic rocks, and more.
