Desert Days - Eco-lodge - Arava

Overview
Desert Days" eco resort village is located in the Arava Valley, close to Moshav Tzukim, on the way to Eilat & in the heart of the Negev Desert. To the west is Wadi Tzofar and its overhanging cliffs and to the west are the mountains of Edom, in Jordan. The landscape of the region was formed by earth movements along the great Syrian-African rift valley and then by the effects of sun, wind and water over millions of years. Nature has a powerful presence here – radiating both strength and tranquility. We invite you to switch off your clocks and take a real break!
