Discover the Secrets of the Stars

From the dawn of humanity mankind has looked up at the stars with a sense of astonishment and excitement. The beauty and mystery of the night-sky have fascinated people generation after generation, leading them to speculate, investigate and create stories surrounding the heavens. The night-sky affords us a perspective of how small we are in the vast universe surrounding us and we look above, asking ourselves what stars are we are actually seeing, what is out there, and is there life outside our comfortable planet Earth.

Observing a star-studded sky is not only a romantic and exciting experience, it also has a positive impact on our physical and mental health. Mitzpe Ramon is home to Israel's largest research telescope at the Wise Observatory, and because here is where one finds the clearest and darkest skies in Israel, it's by far one of the optimal places for star-watching!

This is a fascinating experience!

Surfing in Israel

Modern surfing was brought to Israel in the 1950's by Californian Dorian ‘Doc’ Paskowitz. He arrived with six surfboards and a dream to bring surfing to the masses. Doc’s vision has become a reality and Israel’s surfing community is thriving. In the past, Israeli lifeguards were caught the waves with the hasake, a flat, wide board that had initially been used for near-shore fishing by Arab fishermen. Slowly, as lifeguards and other locals began using Paskowitz’s offerings, a surfing tradition was born.

 

With 186 miles of sandy beaches and a sea that is virtually free of seaweed and sharks, Israel is a great spot for surfers. The sport is incredibly popular and possible all year round as surfers ride the waves coming off the Mediterranean on Israel’s Coastal Plain and at Eilat's Red Sea. Surfing courses are offered for beginners and equipment rental is also available across the country for more experience surfers.
