Directions

If you come from Beer Sheva by bus -
Take the number 60 bus from Beer Sheva to Mitzpe Ramon. (Metropolin and NOT Egged)
Get off at 'Nahal Saliit' stop, Called also 'Nahal Tziya' Station. If the bus driver does not know it, just tell him that it is the stop AFTER the café Neto. (If he still doesn't know it, then he shouldn't be driving this bus…)
Stay on this side of the road, and as the bus station is on your right side, start going down the road. You will already see the green and yellow colors of the hostel straight ahead of you - that is us!

For those of you that come from Eilat -
You will need to get off at the - stop in the centre of town. You will come up to Mitzpe Ramon out of the crater and the bus stop is immediately after you come off the traffic circle. That is the 'central' part of Mitzpe Ramon. if you need to take out money from the bank or buy food, then you might want to do it then in order to save the walk back there later...

From there you need to walk on the main street (David Ben Gurion) towards west... (the bank and all should be on your right and the big traffic circle should be at your back).
Walk straight and pass one junction and then a small traffic circle, keep walking straight and then you should take your first left turn. This is 'Rehavam Zeevi' st. but the sign is only in Hebrew.
Then you take your first left to 'Nahal Saliit', then immediately right into something that looks like a big parking lot.

We are the first house on your left!
It doesn't look any different on the outside from the rest of the houses on the street.
It has the number 10 written on the front of it, and there is a white screen door.

For those of you who come by Car -
Best thing is to call us when you get to the big traffic circle at the town entrance.
