The guide is very informative, very friendly and adjusting according to the crowd. There were chairs, mattresses and telescopes (with layers for the kids) waiting for us as we got there.

Loved it. We were sitting on chairs in the middle of the desert, pitch black night, hearing all about the stars. We then viewed the stars that we learned about in telescopes. Nadav was very knowledgeable and loved teaching about it.

Ira M. and his partner Ziv created an interactive, informative, and fun tour of the cosmos from deep in the crater. They are great to work with and it was mesmerizing.

This was a high point (no pun intended) of our visit to Mitspe Ramon. Ziv was an excellent guide, not only helping us to see (with the naked eye and a telescope) the stars, planets, and the moon, but also to understand why we were seeing what we did. It couldn't have been more fun and interesting. A small note: As promised (warned), it was rather cold at night. So be sure to bundle up before going! But don't hesitate; this was a fantastic experience.…
