Nothing Says Romance Like a Night Under the Stars

Coming on the heels of our being selected as one of the Top 10 Unique Tours in Israel by the January edition of Time Out Israel, we are extremely proud to have been named one of the Top 10 Romantic places for Valentine's Day in Israel by Israel's best known tech web site, israel21c.com! Here's what they say:

Desert surroundings, a starry sky and the world's largest natural erosion crater make Mitzpe Ramon the perfect romantic getaway spot.

After watching the sun set behind the sand dunes, head over to astronomer Ira Machefsky - the Starman of Mitzpe Ramon - for a night astronomy tour you won't soon forget.

Machefsky shows visitors how to find the constellations, identify bright stars, explore celestial marvels and experience the sky's wonders. He also has a standing offer of a free star tour open to any couple who propose on one.

Special treats for everyone this Valentine's Week to celebrate our being selected!
