Camels in Israel
Camels in Israel are a great way to explore the ancient terrain. Camels have been an integral part of culture in Israel since ancient times for trade and travel purposes and today serve for tourism and as a chance to experience life as it was experienced in Biblical times. The Negev Camel Ranch is located halfway between the Dead Sea and Beer Sheva, celebrated in the Old Testament as the land of the patriarchs, and it is a great place to ride camels in Israel. It is home to the largest herd of camels in Israel.
