Biblical Heritage of Ancient Negev Desert. Fascinating, enchanting, and of biblical proportions, the Negev Desert is the epitome of desert landscapes. It is on this boundless horizon that Six Senses Shaharut resort and spa in Israel nestles into a dramatic cliff, at one with the almost-supernatural panorama, where sunsets meld into the orange dunes to become an inky sky scattered with stardust. As a quiet desert haven, we now welcome children 12 years and older
Location
- The journey to Shaharut is part of the story, traveling through the timeless landscape steeped in history. A comfortable transfer can be arranged to the resort, with the drive from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem taking around three-and-a-half hours, or three hours from Petra in neighboring Jordan. Various vehicle types can be reserved through the resort.
- Alternatively, you can opt for a 50-minute domestic flight from Tel Aviv to the new Ramon International Airport (ETM) near Eilat, which also directly serves key European markets. From there, it is a 45-minute transfer to the resort.
- Helicopter flights from Tel Aviv to Shaharut are available and must be booked in advance.
