Cabins in Mitzpe Ramon

All I can say is wow. This might literally be the best value for your dollar, euro or shekel in Israel! Perched on a small hill steps away from the edge of the majestic open beauty of the Mitzpe Ramon crater, Desert Shade affords you the requisite comfort of a clean, comfortable, and secure hut-like rooms with gorgeous communal spaces for dining and relaxing. There are several extremely clean, well-maintained restroom and shower areas around the grounds, and if you're lucky, you'll get to pet Michael, the regal 17 year old white lab of Ziv & Maya, the husband and wife team who built Desert Shade 30 years ago. Ziv and Maya are always around, checking-guests in, answering questions and providing insight and advice concerning all the natural wonders that the Mitzpe Ramon region has to offer. If you are coming to Israel's south for pampering, there's another resort at 5x the cost; but if you want to be out and about, discovering the abundance of grace & natural beauty of this area, then Desert Shade is truly the perfect, comfortable and affordable "basecamp" for your desert adventure.

Loved the room decor, the patio, hot tub and the view! Communication with David was easy and straightforward. Mitzpe Ramon is a wonderful artsy small town worth visiting!

The place is very unique so beautiful. The huts are confortable and far away from each other. We had toilet in our hut but we were in touch with the place for that. Succah in the desert is not near a road so you do feel in the middle of the desert. The staff are very welcome and very nice. If you are looking for an authentic experience it is the place to be. We had the chance to be there the night they make food and the meal was delicious with plenty of different vegetables. I know they don't always make meals so make sure you bring your own food.
