(Take responsibility and spread the magic in every corner of the Babylon, we trust you)

The bus is by top tour.

There is a transport halper that will get the contact list of all bus ticket buyers. It is recommended to print the card, but to be honest , it is also enough to come with the digital card.

First there's the Ashram's kitchen. We are happy to cook and serve our guests delicious and nutritious food. The Ashram has cooks who are expert in cooking vegeterian and vegan meals. A meal from the kitchen costs 35₪.

Except from the kitchen there is the food Court! A variety of food and beverage with various types of food such as home made pizza, vegetarian shawarma, salads and vegetarian hamburger.

Next to the food court you will find the bar which sells alcohol and soft drinks, and also the juice bar which sells refreshing fruit shakes.

Next to all of those there's the Zorba's traditional chai shop, where you can buy chai, coffee, tea and home made cakes.

If you're vegan - most meals in the Ashram are vegan, you will definitely have something to eat.

The camping area is for the tents and will be located around the ashram , in the desert, under a shade net.

It is your responsibility to bring a tent, mattress, sleeping bag or anything else that will make your stay here pleasant and comfortable.

During the festival there are parties until the late hours of the night, so keep in mind that there will be noisy nights.

Something about electricity - those who pay for a room are entitled to the electricity in the room. On the other hand, if you sleep in camping, you do not deserve electricity. Sorry, we know that you really want electricity, but it just does not suit us. Please do not connect electricity cable to rooms or electrical cabinets, because then we will take your cables and we do not like to do that.

If you need to charge your phone - there will be a phone charging station that you can use.

Around the ashram there is a large amount of bathrooms and showers with hot water.

Please save water. Still, we are in the heart of the desert.
