Yotvata Hai-Bar Nature Reserve
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
Yotvata Hai-Bar is a desert wildlife reserve in the southern Arava, created to protect and reintroduce species that once lived in the region. A visit offers a chance to see animals such as Arabian oryx, Persian fallow deer, ostriches, and desert predators in wide open surroundings. It works well as part of a journey between Eilat, Timna Park, and the wider Negev. The reserve tells a hopeful but complicated story: animals that disappeared from the desert because of hunting, habitat loss, and human pressure are being given a chance to return. It asks visitors to see the Arava not only as a landscape to cross, but as an ecosystem that can be repaired and protected.
Eilat & the Arava: Coral, Desert Wildlife & Ancient Copper
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
At Israel’s southern tip, the Red Sea, the Arava Desert, and the mountains around Eilat create a landscape unlike anywhere else in the country. A private day or multi-day route can combine Coral Beach Nature Reserve, where snorkeling reveals the Red Sea reef; Yotvata Hai-Bar, a conservation reserve for desert animals; and Timna Park, where ancient copper mining took place among red sandstone cliffs. The route can be adapted for families, nature lovers, snorkelers, photographers, and travellers interested in desert history. This is a story of connections across extremes: reef and desert, wildlife conservation and ancient industry, and a remote border region linked for thousands of years to trade routes across the Red Sea and Arabian deserts.
Eilat Coral Reef Snorkeling and Diving
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
The Red Sea at Eilat offers clear water, coral reefs, and colourful marine life just beyond the shore. It is one of Israel’s most distinctive natural experiences. A day can be planned around snorkeling, an introductory dive, or a more advanced diving experience, depending on your level and the conditions. Above water, Eilat also offers desert mountains, sea views, and a very different side of Israel. The story beneath the water is of a fragile reef at the meeting point of desert and sea, part of a wider Red Sea environment shared across borders and dependent on careful protection.
Timna Park
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
Timna Park is a wide desert valley north of Eilat, known for red mountains, sandstone pillars, ancient copper mines, and striking geological formations. A visit can combine short walks among rock formations with the history of mining, which began here thousands of years ago. Timna can be a scenic stop, an archaeology visit, or part of a longer day around Eilat and the southern Arava. The story of Timna is not simply about beautiful desert rocks. Copper made this remote valley valuable to ancient societies, drawing workers, traders, technology, and political power into a place that otherwise seems far from everything.
