It's 3 p.m. on a particularly scorching day and two young women from Germany have just come back to The Green Backpackers hostel in Mitzpeh Ramon, a crater in the Negev Desert. Their names are Ruth and Eva, and their faces are flushed from the blazing temperatures outside.

A great place to stay. A very warm welcome. And Mitzpe Ramon has some interesting restaurants, beside the desert scenery. I was able to see 3 out of the 100 or so Onangers living in this part of the desert. What an experience! I understand that these beautiful animals where once part of this land and disappeared in the 60s, and some new Onangers were imported from Iran and introduced again here. Not to be missed!
thank you
