Makhtesh Ramon National Park

The erosion crater extends for 40 kilometers in length and reaches a depth of 500 meters, revealing multiple layers of sedimentary rock formations.

The formation of Makhtesh Ramon began 220 million years ago through tectonic movements and continuous water erosion of the harder limestone surface layers.

The national park holds educational programs about desert ecology, geological processes, and conservation methods for students and researchers from international institutions.

Visitors can access multiple marked hiking trails throughout the park, with the visitor center providing detailed maps and essential safety information.

The site functions as an International Dark Sky Park, offering unrestricted views of stars and celestial objects without interference from artificial light sources.
