The secret of Lucia’s breakfasts comes from the Galil, with the intergenerational transition from mother to sun, with a commitment to preserve tradition. We assure you that the secret is to keep the ingredients fresh and of high quality, we invest the heart, and the rest is inspiration, love, and devotion. For Menu and Orders.
Lucia is my mother. After a mask of persuasion, my mother gave in and allowed us, after meticulous supervision, to make her wonderful breakfasts here at “Zman Arava” and use the “Lucia’s Breakfast” name. The meals were originally made with infinite love in her Galilean kitchen nestled somewhere far north in Mitzpe Abirim, and we brought these unique flavors and aromas all the way to the Arava desert. Here they get a desert “twist” that includes the amazing vegetables of the Arava growers, combined with quality products and fresh small interfaces in the Arava.
“רק על סף המדבר הריק,
רק מתחת לתנועות השמים,
רק שם,
לעיתים, בא וקורה פתאום הדבר המופלא הזה,
המפתיע אבל המיוחל הזה,
והם נפתחים עד הסוף אל האדם הקטן והנואש והבודד כל-כך“.
Our special breakfast is served in “kulna” – the main building between 08:30 and 10:30. Please inform us 24 hours before arrival if you would like breakfast.
The breakfast price is 70 NIS per person. 40 NIS per child.
As in an oasis, you can wander the paths of the orchard, enjoy a peaceful walk among the fruit trees and sit on a bench in front of the Arava landscape … let the desert wind be absorbed slowly. In the orchard there is a designated area where you can light a fire, and a charcoal grill area where you can roast on the coals or cook on a special “Poyke” installation.
The Orchard in Zman Arava, including a variety of fruit trees: Date, pomegranate, fig, lemon, grapefruit and olive. Shaded areas and a small lawn. For your convenience, we have spread along the paths of the orchard wooden benches and soft lighting.
We recommend that you go out in the early morning or afternoon at the end of the day for a short stroll, to breathe in fresh air and to look around, with a sense of freedom and nature enveloping you.
In order to allow an area where we can be together outdoors around a table, bonfire or to roast on a charcoal grill, we have created an area where you will find a well-equipped charcoal grill corner, including a spacious work surface with a sink and lighting for evening barbecues, picnic tables, and a professional pot holder to put the poyke pot on the barrel of fire.
Next to the grill and poyke area there is a bonfire circuit in the open desert where you can sit together around a bonfire through the night
