SUCCAH IN THE DESERT

For those travelers wishing to blend in with nature, there is nothing like Succah in the Desert— a new eco-friendly retreat in Israel offering an escape into desert paradise. Visitors may stay in one of eight dwellings, or succot, which are constructed with natural rock and are covered by roofs of natural materials. Each succah is adorned with decorative carpets covering earthen floors, and feature enormous clay jars for water-storage and solar-powered lamps and heaters to keep warm once the sun has set. Succah in the Desert also provides nonpolluting toilets and solar showers near the main succah for those who do not wish to leave behind the comforts of home. At Succah in the Desert, spiritual renewal and an infinite desert landscape awaits.
