Not really. Last time I was there, there were a few Bet Yosef places that’s about it.

Travel Medical Insurance:

What medical plan are people using now that you'd recommend?
Many plans are not available in NYS - Like Atlas.

If flying in business, which (if any) lines are shorter departing Ben Gurion? 4 hr recommendations still apply?
Does paying for fast track service help with current departure times?

Any recommendations on activities between Yam hamelach and Mitzpe Ramon for teens and older? I was thinking of a jeep tour but they all seem to be focused on the evolution of the crater...

Lots of nice hikes there, but if summertime, you'll need to do very early in morning.

And obviously Ein Gedi (climb up top, not just the easy bottom walk) and nachal arugot. If with young kids, ein bokek is a nice short creek walk.
