If you want a special desert experience, this is it. There are no frills and it’s like camping in a cabin. Yet this is such a unique accommodation with an exotic camel-inspired theme. We loved the hammock, the outdoor seating area and simplicity of it. The camel tour is a highlight to add on. Definitely for the adventurous spirit. Unforgettable!

The rooms were minimalistic but the rugs inside were beutiful. The staff was super nice! It was not your typical hotel but it had its own charme. No food readily available on property but very close places to shop. There was also a kitchen.

The Negev Camel Ranch is a hidden gem. The staff are friendly and engaging, the food was fresh, healthy, and tasty, the rooms are simple but very comfortable. Bathrooms and rooms are clean and well-appointed, and the camels just added to the fun of the place. I’d love to have the opportunity to go back!

We wished we had brought the kids to ride camels. The location is wonderful and in the Desert. When we checked in we had a nice cup of tea. The rooms are BASIC but the price is better than basic. Great economical stay in Israel.

Amazing Experience
The one hour camel ride was so much fun and the views of the desert were very scenic! The tour guide gave information about the camels and the Negev Desert. The breakfast and dinner were both fantastic and authentic. Dinner consisted of a rice dish, a vegetable dish with potatoes, carrots, and tomato sauce, a lentil dish, a salad, pita, olives, a tehini dip, and lemonade with fresh mint. Dessert was dates and tea. The portions were very large, and everything tasted great! Breakfast consisted of fresh buns, cheeses, halva (delicious), fruits, hard boiled eggs, various spreads, yogurt, tea, lemonade, and vegetables. The meal was very filling and very high quality. The presentation of meals was excellent. Every member of staff was friendly and helpful. The staff really went above and beyond to make sure every guest was taken care of. I was given a ride to and from the bus station in Dimona at no cost. The staff offers complimentary tea and coffee at any time. They have camel products and souvenirs available. I purchased a hand carved camel figurine, camel soap, and a bag of the tea that they served me. I was gifted a camel key chain at check out. The bathrooms were communal, but the condition of the facilities were very clean. The rooms each had several beds and a space heater for night. After 5 minutes with the space heater on, the room was toasty warm at night. At night, the sky is filled with stars, and the desert mountains were hauntingly beautiful. Wifi worked at reception.

Awesome experience
. What a fun experience! The cabin/hut was very clean.and accommodated our family of 5. The bathroom facility is a shared bathroom and very clean. We reserved dinner and breakfast in advance and they were delicious and plentiful. The reception area, that also serves as the dining facility had wifi. The staff was so nice and welcoming. We enjoyed an hour camel ride before we left and was guided into the desert with a very knowledgeable guide.

Great stay with camels!
We loved staying at the Negev Camel Ranch. The location serves as a great base to get out and explore the desert and Dead Sea regions. We didn't take a camel ride, though many of the other guests did and absolutely loved it. The camels seem really well cared for and living with them right outside our door was a treat. The service provided by the staff was fantastic. Be sure to get breakfast and dinner at least once while you are there. Both were excellent. We did have a heat wave while there and there's no air conditioning or fan, but there was a shaded hammock and lounging area. Also, the herbal tea served in the common area is incredible. Such a fantastic place.

Camel Kisses ! Really !
Came by myself to this oasis in the Negev. Was treated like Family by the Ullmans, Ariel even picked me up a aroad side Bus stop and took me the next day to the Dimina train staion for free !!! Very laid back, and basic but charming place to stay for tose wanting soemthing different and casual. Rooms simple yet attractive and lots of room to roam and enjoy the Peace & Quiet, austerity with awe at the coolness of the Negev in winter. No Camel ride for me, this time but maybe next time. Definately stay there if you can !
