Traveller reviews

“Mud cabins with electricity, showers and air conditioning, between a city and the desert”
07 Sep 2024
The place was more or less what we expected it to be - slightly civilized bunch of mud huts, fine for getting a feel of the desert and a bit of stargazing. Having little kids with us, we had to pick the most civilized hut of the bunch (by ourselves we would've taken a simpler one), but it served the purpose. The stay was quite enjoyable overall, we plan to come back some day! (without little kids)

“Superb”

We had a great time at the desert shade camp. Maya was so lovely and accommodating. She got us towels and was so helpful. We had an air conditioned cabin which was simple but felt authentic and was a very unique stay. We had a delicious breakfast in the morning with hummus and coffee and dates. There was no dinner option but there were lots of nearby restaurants that were lovely and reasonably priced. An amazing view of the crater and a great stay would definitely recommend.

All I can say is wow. This might literally be the best value for your dollar, euro or shekel in Israel! Perched on a small hill steps away from the edge of the majestic open beauty of the Mitzpe Ramon crater, Desert Shade affords you the requisite comfort of a clean, comfortable, and secure hut-like rooms with gorgeous communal spaces for dining and relaxing. There are several extremely clean, well-maintained restroom and shower areas around the grounds, and if you're lucky, you'll get to pet Michael, the regal 17 year old white lab of Ziv & Maya, the husband and wife team who built Desert Shade 30 years ago. Ziv and Maya are always around, checking-guests in, answering questions and providing insight and advice concerning all the natural wonders that the Mitzpe Ramon region has to offer. If you are coming to Israel's south for pampering, there's another resort at 5x the cost; but if you want to be out and about, discovering the abundance of grace & natural beauty of this area, then Desert Shade is truly the perfect, comfortable and affordable "basecamp" for your desert adventure.

“A special way to experience the desert.”

Desert Shade is in the most amazing location, looking out over the Mitzpe Ramon Crater. A short walk takes you right to the rim, and then you can walk along the edge, looking out over miles of desert landscape, with wadis, differing coloured rocks, and it’s hills and plateaus. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. And sweet mint (black) tea was offered on arrival. The cabin was delightfully simple, clean and tidy, and a/c very welcome. The beds are simple but comfortable. Showers and toilets clean. Wonderful colours and clouds as the sun set; plenty of stars in the middle of the night bathroom trip (which felt very comfortable, with lighting and my phone’s torch, although that was hardly needed, to light the way. Delicious breakfast, which we ate, as we did the supper we brought, in the ‘tent’ roofed and walled with real traditional Bedouin goats’ hair rugs. In short, it’s a fabulous place.
