Note that the Israeli weekend is Friday and Saturday. Buses to Beer Sheva or Mitzpe Ramon, operate from early morning to late at night. The bus station is at the gate of the Midrasha. However, there is no public transportation from Friday afternoon to Saturday sunset and on most holidays. Sede Boqer is a small and isolated campus.
Clothing is extremely informal.
Entertainment is limited, and the library is rather limited as to the range of languages in which it provides books. You may well find it useful to bring with you a supply of reading matter. Prices of electrical goods and the like tend to be high in Israel. Almost anything you send by mail to Sede Boqer will be subject to customs duty, so it is best to bring your possessions as accompanying luggage. The electric current in Israel is 220V, 50Hz.
