EXPERIENCE the NEGEV
Come spend a few days with us and discover the Negev.
What was once a flourishing region is now a desert, but one that is facing a new future as it realises its potential. Meet its fascinating geology, its history and its people.
About myself
Prof. Jon Anson, Sociologist, Demographer, Tour Guide.
I came to Israel from England in 1969 and have lived 50 years in the Negev. I taught in the Dept. of Social Work, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, from 1985 to my retirement in 2016. Today a tour guide, sharing my love of the desert.
The house
We have a large house surround by a beautiful small garden. You will have your own room with a private bathroom and all meals and drinks included. During our tours we will provide a packed lunch or arrange a lunch stop en route. In the evenings, as our dinner guests, you will have an opportunity to gain more insights and understanding of life in the Negev, or just take time to relax after your interesting day out.

Water in the desert
Deserts are dry, which is why we appreciate so much the springs and running water, to relax and even to swim!
Makhteshim
Unique geological formations, massive erosive crater-like basins which developed out of a unique set of circumstances. There are three major makhteshim in the Israeli Negev, each makhtesh something special!
Makhtesh Ramon
The largest of the three major makhteshim, 40 km. long, 9 km wide and close to 400 m’ deep, it is a truly remarkable geological formation.
