Ramon Crater in a Nutshell 4X4 Tour for Individuals and Small Groups
11 Reviews
You’ll need a rugged, 4WD vehicle to explore the Ramon Crater, but pricey private tours can cut into a travel budget. Join a small group of fellow travelers for a cost-effective alternative on a half-day 4WD tour of the Ramon Crater that features local geology, abandoned mines, and wildlife, with a tea break in the shade of a vast acacia tree.

Rappelling in Mitzpe Ramon - off the rim of the Ramon Crater
Imagine standing on the edge of the awesome view at the cliff of the Ramon crater. Now imagine doing this while hanging off this cliff... Rappelling (abseiling) is extremely safe and secure, but it will still get your heart pumping and your blood rushing, like no other desert activity.

Without any prior experience we'll get you sliding down the face of the cliff with ease. All you need, really, is a daring heart. We will provide all of the safety gear needed, and our certified instructors will work 1 on 1 with you to coach you safely down the cliff. You control your own speed and descent, but we have a full backup system in work throughout the descent.

This is without a doubt one of the best activities that we at 4X4Desert have to offer.
