About this place
Makhtesh Ramon Crater Rim
The rim of Makhtesh Ramon reveals an immense erosion crater stretching across the Negev Highlands. From viewpoints near Mitzpe Ramon, the layers of rock and broad desert floor make the scale of this geological formation clear.
Outdoor viewpoints along the rim reveal the desert landscape of Makhtesh Ramon. The visitors center and its indoor exhibitions are a separate venue with their own admission arrangements.
What to see
- Panoramic overlooks above Makhtesh Ramon
- Colourful rock layers and desert geology
- Short viewpoints and connections to longer desert routes
