Eilat Desert Adventures

Eilat travel guide

Situated between the southern edge of the Negev Desert and the beginning of the Sinai Peninsula (and yet only 7 hours drive from the green Galilee at the north part of Israel), Eilat offers a great desert experience lapped in a Bedouin-like scene.

The desert adventures available in Eilat vary from private and organized hiking, to wild jeep tours and exciting camel treks, all touring around the Eilat region. The colorful multilayered mountains and the natural beauty of the desert make it highly exhilarating traveling to fascinating sites, such as King Solomon’s Pillars, Timna Valley Park, the Red Canyon, Ein Netafim and Pillars of Amram.
