Hotels in South District Israel, Israel
South District Israel covers the Negev Desert and the Dead Sea, with a hot, arid climate; summers reach 104°F (40°C) perfect for diving in the Red Sea's coral reefs at Eilat, while mild winters hover around 68°F (20°C) ideal for floating in the Dead Sea or hiking the Ramon Crater at Mitzpe Ramon. The region is famous for being Earth's lowest point and the vast desert landscapes where you can visit the biblical site of Masada or explore the colorful sandstone formations in Makhtesh Ramon. Spring and fall offer comfortable temperatures for multi-day treks like the Israel National Trail, but winter brings lower room rates and fewer crowds at the Dead Sea resorts.
