With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Beersheba, 25 miles away, has to offer. BIG Beer Sheva Shopping Mall, Tel Beer Sheva National Park and Bedouin Market alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you toward Jerusalem, 55 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Jaffa Gate. (But we’d also highly recommend Mount Zion and Machane Yehuda Market.)
