Beersheba Center Car Rental

Beersheba is the capital of the Negev region and Israel's fourth largest city, located in the southern inland. With 7 rental companies in the center it is one of the best options to start a desert journey. From here you can quickly reach Masada, the Dead Sea and Mitzpe Ramon crater.

From Beersheba it takes approximately 1 hour (85 km) to drive east to the shores of the Dead Sea via Route 31. Mitzpe Ramon crater is reached in approximately 1.5 hours (100 km) south on Route 40. Ben Gurion's grave and kibbutz Sde Boker are just 50 km south of the city.

Fill up with fuel in Beersheba before heading out into the Negev - gas stations can be sparse on smaller roads. Drive Route 25 east toward Dimona for a dramatic desert experience. Plan an overnight stay in Mitzpe Ramon if you want to experience the starry sky in the crater.
