Really fancy Burning Man, but don’t have a spare grand? Israel has the answer.

Midburn has all the heart-opening vibes of Burning Man, but it’s closer and cheaper. Win.

Get together with hippie types in the ancient Negev Desert for five days of dancing and setting fire to giant statues.

There are hundreds of art installations around the festival city. You haven’t really lived till you’ve got off your face in a giant pirate ship.

It’s tricky to get a ticket but worth it when you’re raving under the desert sunrise with your new friends Storm and Chakra.

You can’t buy anything onsite so prepare to hula hoop for your dinner or swap a cuddle for a pint.

Midburn Festival: 28th May - 2nd June 2017

International tickets: £167

From Tel Aviv, take an hour train to Be'er Sheva Center, then a 40 min bus to Kibbutz Sde Boker.
