Back to Nature at Hotel Beresheet in Mitzpe Ramon

RETURNING to my room from breakfast, four visitors barred my way. Eyeing me curiously and expectantly with horns raised, the four ibex, realizing no food was forthcoming, trudged away, heads held high in search of richer pickings. Such is a typical guest experience at Beresheet, Mitzpe Ramon, undoubtedly Israel’s most unusual hotels – and one of its very best.

On every continent, and at virtually all points on the compass, a slight detour can add an extra and interesting dimension to the wanderings of the Jewish traveler.

A taped audio guide in eight languages enhances the impressive visual experience.
