Encyclopedia: Mitzpe Ramon

Mitzpe Ramon was originally founded in 1951 as a camp for the workers building the road to Eilat. The town's first permanent residents, immigrants from North Africa and Romania, settled there in the 1960s. Mitzpe Ramon remains small and struggling, with one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. One of the original opportunities for founding a town in this location was to take advantage of traffic on Route 40 traveling to and returning from Eilat in the south, a few nearby military bases and some chalk quarries. Several large military bases (with over 10,000 soldiers altogether) surround the town, including the large Ramon Airbase. The Wise Astronomy Observatory is located 5 km to the east.
