What guests say

Guests recommend us

"Without a doubt the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in! The kitchen has everything we needed... We added breakfast one day and it was 5 stars! Fresh, high-quality, and a perfect start before we headed out on a huge hike. Amazing hospitality!!"

David

"Two families stayed with Noam and Michal for 2 nights. It was really great. The house is fully equipped, nothing is missing — especially in the kitchen. If something is missing you can call them and they take care of it right away. We enjoyed it so much!"

Liat

"Quiet, clean and simple, exactly what we needed for a group of five people! Thank you for the delicious breakfast."

Yael

"They are so wonderful from the moment I booked. They gave us detailed instructions on how to get to their place and, above all, a warm welcome."

Joycelyn Bare

A great location with plenty to do

Vacation at the lowest place on earth — and feel on top of the world

We're in Moshav Neot HaKikar, in the Sodom Valley (Kikar Sodom) next to neighboring Ein Tamar — a quiet, safe, and beautiful spot in the heart of the desert, far from the noise of the hotel strip. About a half-hour drive from the Dead Sea beach, along the scenery of Mount Sodom. A perfect base for floating, mud, hiking, and history.

  • Hiking trails Tzofit-Tamar, Nahal Peres, Nahal Peratzim and Mount Sodom, a spring shaded by date palms
  • Riding Charitz baHuvar (the chalk gully), Nahal Peratzim, and Nahal Sodom
  • 🚌 To the Dead Sea without a car Every day a bus (line 321) leaves Neot HaKikar at 8:00 in the morning for the Dead Sea and returns at 16:30, so it's fairly easy to get to the Dead Sea even without a car.

About us

Nice to meet you, Noam and Michal

As a small family business, our heart is in every detail. With us you're not just another room number — you're our guests.

Noam grew up right here, and used to run through the hills with no shirt and no shoes — he knows the area well and will be happy to recommend places not everyone knows about. Michal will make your stay sweeter with treats from her kitchen, based on local produce.

We love hosting and will be happy to answer any question (we promise we don't bite 😉).
