    Absolutely a fantastic video of one of the most beautiful places on earth: the Negev. And yes, with the absence of distractions of civilization one experiences the divine in a way that is almost tangible. Thank you for making this video. Sometimes you have to make a video that perhaps speaks to a smaller audience but it is enormously appreciated.

    I really appreciate this video, I've Always want to see the other side of Israel what it looks like. This is a hide that I'd love the scenery, the beauty, the peace and tranquility bringing a divine presence to it. I'm jamaican but my love for Israel is beyond me. Keep up the good work much appreciated God bless you.

    I remember a Kibbutz trip into the Negev in the late 1970s to Ra's Muhammad. Oren, you forgot to mention the wonderous night sky and how brilliant the stars are from horizon to horizon. Coming from an urban area with light pollution, this was one of the most lasting impressions I had laying in the sleeping bags looking out into the cosmos and only imaging what our ancestors thought thousands of years ago.

    These visuals are so beautiful. I love the views of the mountains and the desert. Most people just see the dryness and the barrenness and look no further. But there is amazing life and beauty locked up in these places. Thanks for this video, Oren.

    I am much more comfortable hiking in the Northern part of Israel (I lived for year in Afula many years ago) but this was beautiful and I really enjoyed seeing the landscape. I started watching your videos after seeing your documentary about living outside when you were at school, it was very good! (Some of my good friends live in Haifa, so I have seen the valley where you lived.) We usually do a lot of hiking when we visit, so we may need to add this to the list when we can finally visit again! Thank you for the beautiful video, even if it did make me homesick!

    Great video, makes me want to pack my bag right away.
    I got almost lost near Crater Ramon once. Just left the car for a quick photo-walk to the rim at sunset and a little further and further. The way back looked so different since I did not pay attention to the way (there was no trail) while looking for a photo opportunity. Then darkness came, no phone signal, no water. That was scary - lesson learned - but I got the photo :-)

    This hiking and videoing video works for me. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Thanks for your sincerity Oren and your comment on where you find the divine. It brings back memories of a crowed visit to the Church of the Nativity and a tour group that tried to force its way in front of us to get into the grotto before a mass began. It was my own little international incident; not love thy neighbor. Sad.

    In 1986 I got together with 5 other friends and made Passover (my favorite holiday) seder in the desert. We took the bus from Jerusalem to Sde Boker and hiked out to Ain Avdat in the Zin desert. We laid out a blue bedsheet as our table and read the Haggodot by moonlight and candlelight. It felt like the first Exodus. Best seder of my life and I'll never forget.

    I lived and worked in the Negev from 1980-82 at a military airbase which quickly became a tourist airport for Eilat. (Who could predict?)

    I was with Walk About Love a couple of years back most of the way from Eilat to Jerusalem. Amazing hike, wonderful people. Great presentation here...I would add only that there are a lot of shady spots early and late in the day in March/April, and with acacia trees etc. there were moments when it looked like a garden, not a desert.

    Very interesting country there. Worth for a winter travel.
    But I think it is important to get a tour guide.
    Here we pay for a tour guide 70€ per hour, for 2 or 3 whole days this would be 3360 - 5040€. This means that we would need 10-20 people if we do not want to increase our travelling costs to much.
    At the end we only have the possibility to be in a bigger group and be able to do this hiking for some hours. This what the average tourist is able to do.

    Great video. I like to see nature and hike and the only views we get of your area are from movies like Ben Hur and Lawrence of Arabia so it is nice to see your land in real time/boots on the ground.
    If you get the chance to visit Masada National Park and go to the top that would be very interesting.
    Just like Canada in the deep winter you really need to know how to survive and have proper clothing and food and emergency supplies when traveling. And no we don't have polar bears roaming around and eating us. LOL.
