Others require guests to bring their own food, firewood and charcoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hidden in the Negev mountains, just before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/topics\/Mitzpe_Ramon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mitzpe Ramon<\/a>, an old bus has been transformed into one of the more unusual places to stay in Israel. There is no air conditioning, no staff and no one waiting to greet you when you arrive. But there is a small plunge pool, a surprising green orchard in the middle of the arid landscape, complete silence, no cell reception and a rare feeling of being cut off from the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The directions were precise. Driving along Route 40, shortly before Mitzpe Ramon, we turned right at Haruhot Junction, passed the iconic structure of the IDF\u2019s Officers\u2019 Training School, Bahad 1, then turned left onto a generic, dusty dirt road. Suddenly, in the middle of the desert, an almost miraculous patch of agriculture appeared: rows of budding grapevines and a magical olive grove full of birds, turning an abandoned wadi into an oasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lone farm where the bus is hidden at the edge of its cultivated land is called Kerem Shezaf. After opening and closing several vehicle gates, meant to keep out wild animals that could damage the unripe grapes, the bus suddenly appeared in the middle of nowhere, full-sized and parked on the shaded slope of a barren hill at the edge of the vineyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside was a warm, carefully designed living space: a small, well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable double bed facing the horizon, a seating area, an excellent shower with hot water and proper toilets. Only a few details remained to remind guests that this was still a bus, among them the steering wheel, the driver\u2019s seat and the original doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside, a furnished deck faced the desert view, alongside a fire pit and barbecue station. All around, there was only silence. This was not my first night in a lone bus converted into a place to sleep in the middle of nowhere, but here the design had been done with real taste. There was room to breathe, room to move and the perfect conditions for a pleasant night in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind the project are two close friends from high school: Ariel Grossman, 31, an entrepreneur in the hotel industry in Spain, and Yotam Falik, 30, an architecture student. \u201cYotam and I are very good friends from the environmental education high school in Sde Boker,\u201d Grossman told ynet. \u201cWe always loved building. We both worked with wood, iron and all kinds of construction, and our friendship and love for the desert developed alongside that hobby. This bus is the result of both of those things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their connection to the desert deepened while volunteering at Kerem Shezaf farm in its early days. \u201cWe became friends with Tsur Shezaf, who invited us to come volunteer with him when he was just setting up the farm,\u201d Grossman said. \u201cWe were 18, we worked with him, learned from him and were very close to him. Only a few years later, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when we came back from the post-army trip, we had the idea of buying a bus together and doing something different with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt first, we just wanted to build a home for ourselves,\u201d he said. \u201cWe weren\u2019t thinking about a tourism business or trying to set up a vacation rental. We wanted to make a place we would actually want to live in, something ecological that blends into the landscape and doesn\u2019t feel out of place. A place that truly feels like part of the desert.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lot of thought went into building a smart structure that could handle the desert,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is heavy insulation, ventilation, shade and careful planning. The bus is positioned so the sun mainly hits one side, which is especially well insulated. When you stand in the kitchen and look out at the view, the sun doesn\u2019t hit you at all but stays behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire build took just three months. \u201cWe lived there while we worked and built everything ourselves,\u201d he said. \u201cNo workers, no contractors. Friends and family came to help, but the planning and construction were all ours, from the electricity and plumbing to the carpentry and interior design.\u201d Six years later, the project is still evolving. \u201cThe pool, for example, was added only two years ago, and the bathroom also underwent a major renovation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hospitality experience is also very different from a standard desert cabin. There is no room service, no indulgent breakfast made from local produce and no catering. \u201cYou can think of the bus like a home,\u201d Grossman said. \u201cWhen you come back to your own home, nobody is waiting for you with breakfast. We want people to feel at home. Part of the experience is going into the kitchen and cooking the things you love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a fire pit, but guests need to bring their own wood. There is a barbecue, but guests need to bring charcoal. There is a stocked kitchen with spices, tea, and coffee, but the raw ingredients are up to you. \u201cA lot of the experience we offer is solitude,\u201d Grossman said. \u201cTo be there completely alone. Nobody greets you, nobody walks around near you. People come to us to connect with themselves, with their partners, and to really experience being alone in the middle of the desert. You can walk around naked all day and nobody will peek at you,\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most unusual decisions, and perhaps the bravest one, was what they chose not to install. When asked why the comfortable bus has no air conditioning, Grossman said it was an ideological decision as much as a technical one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s important to understand that we\u2019re not a typical vacation rental, and definitely not a hotel room,\u201d he said. \u201cThe people who come here are nature people. On another weekend, they might be pitching a tent somewhere in the desert. We see this as upgraded glamping, not an air-conditioned cabin or a hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal, he said, is not to separate guests from the desert, but the opposite. \u201cWe deliberately didn\u2019t install air conditioning,\u201d he said. \u201cWe want people to go outside, feel the heat, feel the desert, get into the pool, and hike. If you come to the desert and spend the whole time in air conditioning, then you\u2019ve missed a big part of the experience. Inside the bus, we are not cut off from nature. We are part of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That approach is felt almost everywhere, including in the visit from a chubby, adorable desert rodent that briefly appeared near the bus and stood on its hind legs like a kangaroo. \u201cThis is a common fat sand rat,\u201d Grossman laughed. \u201cAnimals are roaming around the area. We don\u2019t come and spray the desert. We don\u2019t come to take it over. We came to be guests in the wadi. That\u2019s how we see it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The infrastructure was planned according to the same worldview. \u201cOur electricity is solar,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are not connected to any infrastructure. The water from the shower and toilets irrigates the orchard, and there is ecological shampoo in the bus. It\u2019s all part of the same idea of blending into the environment and not changing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After sunset, the desert took on a different mood. The air turned colder, the flies vanished, the silence grew deeper and the darkness outside became almost complete. The fire pit cast a small circle of light, while inside the bus, a comfortable bed and hot shower were waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image.png 1024w, https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-600x450.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But first came a curious wine tasting at Tsur Shezaf\u2019s mysterious winery. After a 10-minute walk through the vines, I met Shizaf, who had just returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia. His wife, Dorit, had laid out local cheeses, and we tasted eight intriguing wines from the farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next morning, the Negev mountains were bright again. The night had not been completely silent, but the wild sounds of animals outside were one of the most moving parts of the experience. Through the bus windows, the vineyard, birds and open desert came back into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The magic of the place does not come from exaggerated luxury in the middle of nowhere, but from the combination of simplicity, quiet and nature. A night inside a bus in the desert sounds strange at first, but after spending the night there, it feels entirely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">rossman admits the bus is not for everyone. \u201cWe always try to make that clear in advance,\u201d he said. \u201cSomeone looking for a hotel or a classic countryside cabin may connect with it less. But someone looking for nature, quiet and solitude usually falls in love with the place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prices vary according to season and day of the week. Grossman says midweek stays cost around 850 shekels per night, while weekends cost around 1,350 shekels per night. Discounts are available for guests booking more than one night, and reservations usually open two months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For anyone looking for a fashionable vacation with pampering room service, round-the-clock air conditioning and a rich culinary buffet, a lone bus in a remote vineyard in the Negev is probably not the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for anyone dreaming of waking at sunrise to a mirage-like view of green vines in the middle of the desert, hearing the birds, playing hide-and-seek with a common fat sand rat and forgetting for a few hours that the world is still spinning outside, \u201cBus BaKerem (bus in the vineyard) offers something that is becoming increasingly rare in Israel: quiet and peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some vacations begin at an air-conditioned reception desk, with a lavish breakfast and room service on call.
