'''Mitzpe Ramon''' is a city in the Negev region of [[Israel]]. Highway 40 is the sole highway that runs through the down, which runs from Beer Sheva to Eilat. The town is located on Highway 40a cliff overlooking the Ramon crater. The town has a vibrant artistic scene, with many cool DIY bars and artist hangouts.

Bear in mind that Route 40 is the least busiest route between the north and Eilat. Therefore , so hitching south might take some time. Bear in mind Also note that there is very little virtually no settlements in betweenhere and Eilat, so accepting a lift with someone going part of the way is only not recommended if unless they're going to drop you off at Highway 90. Such conversations might be tricky if the driver doesn't speak English (something that's quite common in rural Israel).

=== North towards Sde Boker, [[Beer Sheva]] ===

After Sde Boker, Beer Sheva is the next major city. Traffic is plentiful, and getting a ride won't take long. To avoid skip local traffic, it's best to walk to the Dor-Alon service station. The vast majority of cars travelling north will be going in the direction of Beer Sheva.

For this trip be prepared for a multiple rides. You should aim for Yeruham/Dimona, will first and from there foremost need to travel north to AradSde Boker. Drivers on their way to Beer Sheva may will be able to take you as far as there. At Sde Boker. In that case, ask them to drop you at the junction between Highway 40 and route 204, where you can start hitching for Yeruham/Dimona, and from there to Arad. While it's a bit of a desolate junction, it's only 2km to walk back into into Sde Boker village where there's shops etcif you need a shop.
