Set on the edge of the striking Ramon crater, at the heart of the Negev desert, stands the very new Green Backpackers hostel.
The 'Green' in "The Green Backpackers" is no coincidence. We are all about sustainable tourism. We recycle all that is recyclable. Otherwise, everything is being reused.
The Green Backpackers was designed by experienced travellers and is ecologically run with all the necessities you, the traveler, might need, in mind. It is clean, warm, comfortable and close to all the important town facilities.
Fresh linens, well equipped kitchen, internet, laundry, full range of DVD's,and most importantly - outdoor activities. From hiking & backpacking to jeep rides and repelling- all is right outside of our doorsteps.

If you come from Beer Sheva by bus - Take the number 60 bus from Beer Sheva to Mitzpe Ramon. Get off at 'Har Gamal' stop. (Called also Nahal Sirpad Station), Cross the road and walk through the alley. You will have houses on both your sides. on the second path turn left! (if you got to a kinder garden, then you walled too far) After you turned left, walk all the way to the parking lot. The last house on the corner (on your left side), right before the parking, has the number 10 written on it. 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.
