Nice and interesting place in the Negev. We were taken a very good care of. Our 2 year son loved the place, had a lot of fun with local kids and was reluctant to leave :-) It was a pleasure to meet Khalil and his family. Importantly, you can get diner there on Sabbath when you arrange it before hand. If you arrive in Israel on Friday evening as we did, that is something you will appreciate. Very good communication with the host. Excellent food.

A bit tricky to find the right house, particularly at night. Need wheels to get there.

Khalil and his family are very attentive people, who contacted us beforehand to make sure we would find everything all right and so they could prepare for our visit. We had dinner there which was homemade and delicious! Khalil sat with us and two other guests and we had a talk throughout dinner. His wife had cooked and we can highly recommend having dinner there as well! We also had to leave early for sunrise at Masada and they packed us breakfast. They are very kind and helpful hosts, but not intrusive whatsoever. Thank you Khalil and family for having us!

Very friendly host, very helpful! Recommend this place because it's something different.

The family was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Language was a bit of a problem for our hostess as we don't speak Arabic and her English is not so good, but we managed. We didn't arrange for a supper but our hostess provided us with delicious Bedouin tea and a very tasty Bedouin dish made of rice cooked in leaves. I'm sorry we didn't arrange for a supper. We slept vey well on thick Bedouin mattresses with quilts. The next morning we chatted to Khalil whose English is very good. It was a great experience and we were served excellent Bedouin tea and a fantastic breakfast, most of which they make of grow themselves.

A signboard at the road and signs showing where to go would have helped. However, everyone was very friendly and the children were eager to show us where to go. Khalil informed me that a new sign was being made.

A very unique accommodation in an unregistered village, unrecognized by the Israeli government. The host (and activist) Khalil is brilliant, he told us about ways to get by without relying on the government for basic services. Great dinner for 90 JOD per person, cooked by Khalil's family and great breakfast as well. The place is not too far from Masada and Ein Gedi, so it's a nice stop on the way is you travelling around the country.

Our stay at Khan Alsira was a very nice experience for our family. We booked both the tent and the two-room apartment so that our group members had a choice in case the tent would be less comfortable. However, most of them preferred the tent. We had breakfast in the tent as well on the first day. Second day we had to leave very early to catch our flight but the owner prepared a take away breakfast for us that we could consume during the trip to the airport. The hospitality of the bedouin family was great. We also had dinner with them and tea and the owner told us a lot about their way of life and how they cope with all the constraints of having to take care for a lot of facilities like energy and waste collection themselves. The location is perfect for trips to destinations in the Negev or around the Dead Sea. Negev Camel Ranch is only 30 minutes away and Dead Sea around 45 minutes. We can absolutely recommend this place.

They welcome you into their home and family. It's Ramadan and they offered a delicious meal after sunset. Very open and listening to every opinion and beliefs of their guests and telling/informing about the traditions and history of their family and their country. Warm people

we were spleeping in a tent and for the kids it was great adventure. the tent was causy and warm with the heating on. we were having though a regular bathroom. we had also very tasty dinner and breakfast. Bedouin people are very friendly and open, it was great to spend some time with them and hear their story on living in Israel, their culture and history.
