Mount Gamal (Camel Lookout)
הר הגמל
A small hill on the southwestern rim of the crater, shaped like a reclining camel. It is within walking distance and a popular spot for watching sunsets over Ramon Crater.
Mount Gamal is on the southwestern rim of Ramon Crater, southwest of the town of Mitzpe Ramon. From some angles, its shape looks like a reclining camel, which gives it its name. You can walk or drive from town to the foot of the hill, then climb a few minutes of steps to the viewing platform at the top. To the south, you can look over Ramon Crater and Route 40 on the crater floor. To the east, a rim trail leads to the visitor center. Crowds gather at sunset. Admission is free. Next to the hill is the town's school area, so please observe parking rules.
