If you want a special desert experience, this is it. There are no frills and it’s like camping in a cabin. Yet this is such a unique accommodation with an exotic camel-inspired theme. We loved the hammock, the outdoor seating area and simplicity of it. The camel tour is a highlight to add on. Definitely for the adventurous spirit. Unforgettable!

Door de Negev woestijn op een kameel

Maak een tourtocht op de kamelen en eet eens al zittend op de grond :) ‘s Nachts 100 meter door het zand lopen om naar het toilet te gaan is net iets minder leuk ...

o quarto estava muito frio. A água do banheiro era devidamente aquecida. Cozinha tinha falta de ítens básicos, como um saca rolha para vinho.

Polecam zawsze i o każdej porze roku :)

Rewelacyjne miejsce. Byliśmy tam po raz trzeci i na pewno wrócimy. Cisza, spokój, gwiazdy, wielbłądy i (obowiązkowo) lokalne jedzenie. Na dodatek niedrogo, jak na Izrael, a bardzo fajnie. Polecam każdemu, bez względu na wiek i płeć. Co ciekawe: wspólne łazienki i toalety zawsze były bardzo czyste.

The rooms were minimalistic but the rugs inside were beutiful. The staff was super nice! It was not your typical hotel but it had its own charme. No food readily available on property but very close places to shop. There was also a kitchen.

A different experience. Recommended. The rooms are clean and confortable. The breakfast is good and fresh. The camels are well cared and calm. Wifi need to be improved. The signal is weak. There are only shared bathrooms, but are clean.

Une étape au Negev à faire absolument

Hebergement insolite dans une chamelerie en plein milieu du désert du Negev. Accueil chaleureux et logement dans de simples bungalows propres et disposant de 5 lits. Sanitaires collectifs dans un autre bungalow. Magnifique randonnée en chameau . Mériterait de figurer dans le guide du routard. Seul bémol, le prix du petit déjeuner (13$) élevé par rapport à la prestation.

The Negev Camel Ranch is a hidden gem. The staff are friendly and engaging, the food was fresh, healthy, and tasty, the rooms are simple but very comfortable. Bathrooms and rooms are clean and well-appointed, and the camels just added to the fun of the place. I’d love to have the opportunity to go back!

Świetne miejsce!

To niesamowite miejsce. Na środku pustyni. Byliśmy 2 noce. Było bardzo fajnie. Domki małe, czyste. Najbardziej chyba zaskoczyły nas wspólne łazienki - były bardzo czyste. Właściciele bardzo pomocni we wszystkim. Koniecznie zamówcie obiad/ kolację. Regionalne potrawy świetnie zrobione. Bardzo smaczne. Śniadania bardziej europejskie. Jedzenia zawsze bardzo dużo. I przepyszna miętowa herbata :) Pachnie wielbłądami, bo jest ich chyba 40. Przejażdżka na wielbłądach obowiązkowa. Nasz przewodnik był świetny :) Bardzo polecamy!

Sjarmerende på kamelranch

Meget enkelt men desto mer sjarmerende sted ved Dimona. Meget god frokost. Kan anbefales som et alternativ hvor en kan oppleve naturen på dørterskelen. Ren og ordentlig.

Nice experience with camels

Nice cottages, verey quiet location in nature and very close to Mamshit archeological sites. The only neighbours are about 40 camels on which you can ride for 75 shekels per hour. You get free tea on arival.

We wished we had brought the kids to ride camels. The location is wonderful and in the Desert. When we checked in we had a nice cup of tea. The rooms are BASIC but the price is better than basic. Great economical stay in Israel.
