Mitzpe Ramon is the town that overlooks the incredible crater of Makhtesh Ramon. For a few years some unusual hotels have been opening in this little town. It's a good place to stay to explore the crater.

The Negev is a desert of stone whose vastness and infinite horizons are very seductive. You will love it, whether you love walking, archaeological sites, or meeting genuine locals.

Be'er Sheva may well be the fourth largest town in Israel, and home to one of its best universities, but you have to acknowledge that it's not very dynamic. There are a few sites to visit, such as an Ottoman mosque and the palace of the governor who reigned over the town at the beginning of the 20th century (which has since been turned into the Negev museum of art). Be'er Sheva is usually a stop-over if you are going to visit the desert, or are returning to <a href="/israel/">Tel Aviv</a> or Jerusalem. The town is more somewhere that you stop for a few hours to satisfy your curiosity than somewhere you choose to go to. In my opinion Be'er Sheva is not an essential place to go during your trip to Israel.
