This new museum is an intimate, simple and poignant place that pays fitting tribute to the brave young men who fought, and in several cases died, here. The guided tour (in English) that we and another Australian family were given, together with a film, photographic displays, archival footage and the powerful solemnity of the war graves cemetery, give a good understanding of the events which the Centre commemorates, without overwhelming. It’s advisable to book by phone. I had trouble initially communicating with the Centre. The online email form didn’t seem to work, and the person who answered the phone didn’t speak English. However when I phoned again later I got onto someone who did speak English, booked us for the tour, and gave good advice regarding public transport. We caught the 470 bus from the Jerusalem central bus station and changed to a local bus in Beersheva, aided by google maps. It was straightforward. I think this would appeal to anyone with an interest in history, and especially to Australians, New Zealanders and British visitors.

A great hands-on science museum with a large selection of exhibitions for every member of the family. Everything is explained in Hebrew, Arabic and English. A private guided tour is available for an additional cost (a reservation is needed). The museum is rather big- you need at least two hours to enjoy it, but can actually spend there a whole day. Most of the exhibitions are indoors - great for a hot Israeli summer day.

Nevatim, an agricultural settlement near the city of Beer-Sheba (capital of the Neghev area) was settled in 1954 by jews from Cochin, India. It boasts a Cochin Heritage Center composed of a compact, amazing museum and a stunning synagogue, both definitely worth a visit. 1. the museum. We were presented with a 16- minutes documentary on the history and customs of the Cochin jewish community and its immigration to Israel. On the walls at the entrance, and in the movie room - black and white pictures depicting life in India and the transition from trade there to agriculture. here. Next, we were led through rooms with a rich variety of encased exhibits from daily life in Cochin: clothing, jewelery items, household ware, religious lamps, Torah case. 2. the synagogue Plain looking outside, stunning inside. The interior is breathtaking. Never have I seen such richness of details and color, lights, pillars, fine furniyture and ornaments. The central part of the synagogue is taken up with the Holy Arc (the wooden closet which contains the Torah scrolls) and in front of it - the bima (the podium for Torah readings). There's a second bima upstairs, on the ladies' floor.

I took my 3-year-old daughter here with her 9 year old cousin and they both had a great time. We were there for 2.5 hours and would have stayed longer if it didn't close. Highly recommended with lots of fun soft play and creative stations for the kids to play. A real gem!
8. Zalame Acbar Cocktail Bar

4.5 based on 28 reviews
Zalame Acbar Cocktail Bar is the first cocktail bar in the Negev capital and in the south in general. Zalame ACB was established at the end of 2016 as part of the thought and need to bring the world of bars and mixology to the capital of the Negev. The Carpenter Street and its garages area were an excellent platform for building a secret-style 20th-century bar in the United States.

Well done museum, quite objective with references to history not just local Bedouins, but across other countries. Good quality audio guide, nice coffee in the real Bedouin tent. I also liked the displays dedicated to Bedouin marriage traditions and musical instruments. Informative video displays. Good picnic areas and hiking trails around. It's a problem that it's closed on Fridays and Saturdays, unfortunately.
