The Story of the Yamit Region – visitor center explains the towns of the Yamit Region. The fascinating story of the Yamit Region finds itself breathing life again. The official memorial site “The Story of the Yamit Region” tells the story of the place returned to within the Egyptian borders in 1981, then  willingly evacuated by its residents, with their businesses and homes, for the sake of peace. The visitor center was established in the town of Dekel in Hevel Shalom, where six towns and 2 kibbutz settlements have been established since the evacuation of Yamit, for a new settlement in the Negev. The visitor center represents a magical, nostalgic corner of pioneering, creativity, pride in place, human and personal stories – for each visitor to experience in their own way. The historic importance of Yamit has brought Zehava Shaked, Tamar Shivat – who evacuated from Yamit and established Dekel – to commemorate the information center for the general public. The site offers the Yamit Visitor Center (museum), the Yamit Walls, the monument of the Steel Division, a peek into the life re-established and a tour of the greenhouse and galleries of artists of the area.

My name is Michal Marom, owner of "Gotik" Studio in Kibbutz Re'im - featuring hand-made designed ceramics products and artifacts. It all started when I was in the third grade, skipping from one class to another. In 1986 I moved to Kibbutz Re'im in the Western Negev and studied at the Visual Arts College. The meeting point between the desert and my professional knowledge and love for art, design and aesthetics gave birth to tools and sculptures made from natural, crude materials, combined with earth-toned lacquers. I also produce sinks, statues, natural-looking, raw tableware, and more. The influences of the Western Negev landscapes, the anemones, the green spaces - are evident in my work, artistically and emotionally, as I combine mixed techniques. Visitors are welcome - by appointment only. The gallery offers a wide variety of artifacts, pottery work, sinks to order by measure, wood paintings and more.

A natural space for gatherings. A gathering space in a country-style and unique atmosphere, built by the hands of the hosts, with natural materials - soil and love.

Adenium Nursery by Rina and Danny Mor Cultivation, training and sale of the adenium plant (desert rose) Adenium Obesum ("Desert Rose") Adenium is a desert flower of the oleander family, native to the deserts of the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa. Due to its origin, it is resistant to heat and does not need much hydration, but it is susceptible to cold and excess water. In our country it blooms from spring to late summer. Ideally, it should be grown in a pot because, in winter, it should be moved to a place protected from rain and humidity. The root of the Adenium Obesum is bottle-shaped, which helps with the efficient storage of the little water the plant gets in the desert. Its large flowers are pink, crimson, red and white. In our nursery, you can learn about all growing stages, starting with the sowing, how the tender sprouts and seedlings are handled, watering and fertilizing, transferring seedlings from small to large pots, and how to root plant cuttings. You may visit the Adenium Nursery all week long, with reservations: 077-7295736 Rina Mor.

"From destruction and ruin we shall grow a strong and healthy vine, with deep roots and quality grapes for the glory of our home, for the lives of our father-grandfather's partners, and in memory of those who are no longer with us." In 2006, Gideon Pauker, one of the founders of Kibbutz Nir Oz, dreamed of producing wine from grapes he would grow himself, for his own enjoyment and that of his relatives and friends. Encouraged by his friends and partners Gadi Moses and Haim Peri, and in partnership with additional members from the kibbutz, the dream took shape: the group planted a small vineyard on the western side of the kibbutz and established the winery in Nir Oz's first shelter. Gideon served as the winemaker and vintner of the small winery, joined by his project partners in carrying out various tasks to transform grapes into wine. Over approximately 17 harvests, Gideon fulfilled his dream. On Saturday morning, in early October, when the wine was ready but had not yet begun aging, the kibbutz fence was breached, and a bloodthirsty Gazan mob flooded the area. For eight hours, hell reigned in our small piece of paradise. By day's end, the dimensions of the disaster became clear: Gideon was murdered in his home, and three of his partners – Haim Peri, Yoram Metzger, and Gadi Moses – were kidnapped to Gaza. Many other partners also lost family, friends, and homes. During those difficult days, the final wine remained orphaned in the shelter. With help from people in the Israeli wine industry, we, Gideon's family, managed to rehabilitate the vineyard, rescue the wine, and bring it to bottling, as a legacy for the wine group from Nir Oz. In spring 2024, we planted a new vineyard in memory of our father-grandfather, and alongside the friends' winery, we established "Pauker Winery" – a boutique family winery that invites everyone to taste quality wine overlooking the fields of the western Negev, and to continue Gideon's legacy and dream. With us, you will receive rural hospitality, seating facing the vineyard with an open view of the fields, and a quality boutique wine experience with a family story of growth and hope.

The Story Behind the Cart Ameet Cafe was established following the events of October 7th, and is named in memory of Amit Gabay z"l, who was murdered just before his 18th birthday in the youth neighborhood of the kibbutz. Amit was Adi's eldest son. The proprietors, Adi and Kobi, close friends, chose to establish the cart out of a desire to create a place that continues Amit's spirit—a great love for life, for people, and for gathering among friends. A Place to Stop, Meet, and Feel at Home Amit loved nature, simplicity, and small moments of togetherness, and a can of Prigat coffee was always part of the experience. From this spirit, Ameet Cafe was born—a place that connects people, nature, and good coffee, inviting everyone to stop, sit, and feel at home.
