Ezuz and the area
Ezuz and the area
Ezuz sits in the western Negev, at the end of the road: a rock desert, dark night skies and layers of history.
Skies, sunsets and desert
Landscape, stars, sunsets and nature were part of the original page. There is a great deal of open space here and very little artificial light.
Birds and wildlife
There is a bird hide in the village, and wild donkeys pass through the area. Sometimes you see them from the road or a window.
Goat and cheese farms
The original guide included a local farm with handmade goat cheeses. Check visits and purchases directly with the farm and arrange ahead.
Ceramics studio
Ceramics, wheels, clay and handwork are part of the local making. Workshops for adults, children and families vary with the hosts and timing.
The labyrinth
A local sculpture made from stones of the area, which you can enter and try to find your way to the centre.
Birotayim
A small grove with shade, ruins and a quiet place to stop. It fits into a short day between Ezuz and Nitzana.
Shivta, the Nabataean village
The ancient town on the Incense Route adds a layer of history to the desert. Check opening hours and road conditions before setting out.
Traditional blacksmith workshop
Blacksmithing is one of the local crafts the old page featured. Visiting times and workshops change, so arrange directly in advance.
Desert jeep tours
You can explore the desert from viewpoints to tracks and hidden sites. Check the route, operator and road conditions in advance.
Ancient rock carvings
Rock carvings and ancient sites are close to Ezuz. Set out carefully, with water and according to road and terrain conditions.
A quiet stop on the way
Between the village and the surrounding sites are small groves and places to sit. This is an area for a slow walk and a pause, not a rush through attractions.
More in the village and on the way
The original page also included Cafe Ezuz, the Nitzana dunes, herb farms, weaving, bikes, local wine and honey. Small businesses, workshops and opening times change, so check directly before setting out and do not rely on old phone numbers.
The village is small and has no supermarket. Stock up on the way, fill the tank before the final turn, and let the pace change while you are still driving.
Two days is not enough
That is what we hear from almost every guest. There is too much to see here for a short weekend: Shivta, Nitzana, the trails, the birds, and the sunsets. Plan more time than you think you need.
