Israel’s Negev Desert might not be as big as the 348,750 sq km Great Victoria Desert but even at a mere 13,000 sq km it deserves to be taken seriously – as does its premier resort, Six Senses Shaharut. It’s a unique oasis, four hours’ drive south of Tel Aviv. In a 360-degree empty panorama, palest pink with uninterrupted blue sky over. You’re emotionally lost in another world even before you arrive.
