Makhtesh Ramon

Makhtesh Ramon is a vast erosion cirque cut into the high Negev around Mitzpe Ramon. Overlooks and short trails make complex geology visible at a scale that ordinary canyon viewpoints rarely achieve.

Start from a signed overlook or visitor center and avoid unmarked tracks, especially during heat or flash-flood risk.
