Kibbutz Ruhama is located in the Negev desert in southern Israel. The original settlement, established in 1911, is considered the first modern Jewish settlement in the Negev. Atar HaRishonim (“Site of the First”), located just outside the fence surrounding the kibbutz, is where the first Jewish settlers in modern times settled in the Negev. The site includes several buildings and a well, as well as farming tools used almost 100 years ago.
Kibbutz Ruhama is located in such a beautiful and special location that the area around it has been declared a nature reserve “Bitronot Ruhama”. Due to this, the kibbutz serves as a center for tourism and a starting point for hot-air balloon take offs.

The kibbutz also provided the set for the Israeli film “Adama Meshugaat” (Crazy Land), the third and award-winning film by director Dror Shaul (“Operation Grandma” – a cult Israeli kibbutz film).
