Naot Farm Ramat HaNegev Founded by Lea and Gadi Nahimov, Naot Farm is one of the Arava’s most special guest houses. Former restaurant owners, the Nahimovs decided to move to the desert, raise goats, and make cheese. Over the years, their herd of goats has expanded and they’ve also opened their own guest house, with charming eco-cabins for couples and families. There’s a communal kitchen, a communal chillout area, a pool, a herb garden, a corner with a TV, a piano, and an area where meals are taken. Guests are also invited to see how the milking process happens, and there’s a shop where the cheeses are sold, as well as baked goods, meat, wine, cold beverages, and more. naotfarm.co.il

This guest house offers a truly authentic desert experience. There are several Bedouin-style tents and khans suitable for couples, families, and groups. All the spaces have mattresses, mats, pillows, lighting, and desert-style furniture made of recycled materials and straw. Simplicity is the watchword here, but there’s attention to detail in every aspect, and the communal showers and toilets are well-kept. The tents are surrounded by lovely acacia trees and of course, the beautiful desert Beerotayim Desert Eco-Lodge Mitzpe Azuz

Guests can fix themselves tea or coffee and at nightfall, as the lanterns light up, everything seems even more beautiful and peaceful. This is a lovely place to come with the kids who can even experience feeding camels. There are hammocks and peaceful corners to relax in and Bedouin-style breakfast and dinner are served in
