גן לאומי ניצנה

Nitzana is really off the beaten path. There are a few different sites within a short drive of each other - including Nabatean archeological ruins, a nature preserve, a desert cave, and natural sand dunes.

The ruins are located on an isolated desert hilltop. They're not the most impressive compared to some other sites just in terms of the ruins themselves, but the deep quiet and vast desert scenery made it really memorable. We also visited the nearby sand dunes which was magical, and the rock formations at Hamukei Nitzana / Nitzana Hillocks.
