Between Stars

What Your Desert Evening Looks Like

We meet in the heart of the desert in a compound of mats, mattresses, and pillows for a meal around the campfire🔥
The meal consists of a beef/tofu stew with mangold leaves and vegetables from our family farm in a Poike pot with rice. After we eat, we will drink hot desert tea and roast marshmallows over the fire, then move on to stargazing 🪐

We'll lie on the mattresses and look up at the sky, identify different constellations, listen to stories from Greek mythology, and observe through a telescope🔭 The event lasts about two to two and a half hours🌟💫

Location: Near Moshav Paran. A private experience can be booked anywhere of your choice.
Start Time: Around 19:15. Exact time and directions will be sent to guests.
Cost per Adult: 170 NIS
Cost per Child (up to 12): 140 NIS
Stargazing without Poike: 100 NIS
