Half-Day Excursion from Eilat to Timna Park

Since my childhood, the wilderness of the desert has called me. As a teacher, later on in life, I taught geography but most of the teaching was outside (the absolute best way to discover and learn) and nowadays, as a guide, I look to share this passion with all visitors and take them with me to one of the most impressive places in Israel.

Only about half-hour drive from Eilat, Timna Park combines beautiful landscapes with unique geological and human history. In Timna we follow the times in which copper the first metal used by man was most important in daily life.

Timna is also one of the most ancient copper mines in the world. Driving and walking around the park to its different sites of natural sculptures of sandstone and evidence of past human presence.

The mountains of Eilat provide some of the best hikes in Israel. One of the most popular sites and personal favorite is the Red Canyon.

Carved in colored sandstone this hidden canyon is remarkably unique and will make you feel like in a movie or another planet; I can walk the same trail everyday and still feel amazed every single time. .

It's a short walk of about 1. 5 hours and accessible to all ages. There is some effort as we walk inside and outside the Red Canyon using ladders.

In our tour we also climb to Mt. Yoash which is a beautiful lookout towards the gulf of Eilat and the Egyptian border. Wild goats, dassies, photo op moments and my full excitement will be on demand!
