Hiking & trekking in the Eilat Mts. nature reserve
1 day or more

The Eilat Mountains in the Southern Negev are home to some of the most spectacular views in the whole of the Negev Desert. Our hiking and trekking expeditions lead you through canyons, over mountain paths and into rarely visited places, most of which are accessible only by foot. We start on the heights of the Negev Plateau and hike down the most picturesque mountain paths in the area. Carrying in our packs only what is necessary for the day’s trek. By evening we are met by our jeeps that take us back to Eilat, or for a fuller desert experience, we set up camp in the Arabian skies. These tours are designed and recommended for people who love hiking in nature. The tours include all meals, 4×4 jeeps for the off-road transfers and an experienced desert guide.
Day 1- Pick-up from Eilat hotels and driving up into the higher Nature reserve area. We start the hiking tour on the summit of Mt. Yehoahaz – 900 m’ above the sea level.

At the foot of the Eilat Mts reserve we reach ’The lost Valley’- a canyon of red sandstone rock, (difficult to locate- hence the name), from there we ascend Mt. Shehoret and go down through the Shehoret Canyon (Eng= ’Black Canyon’) that takes us into the Arava Valley where we are met by our drivers and jeeps.
Level: Hard/ Mderate
Day 2- Driving through the Arava to the Amram pillars. Here we begin our day by ascending Mt. Amir. We pass the ancient copper mines on its summit and follow a narrow route that takes us under the Negev cliffs to the Hidden Valley, a colored sand stone canyon and difficult to find for those unfamiliar with the terrain. A more challenging hike but one of the most rewarding treks in the Eilat Mts.
