Amram's Pillars
עמודי עמרם
Red sandstone cliffs carved by wind and rain into huge pillars. Reached directly by car, it suits short hikes and camping.
Amram's Pillars lie about 15 km north of Eilat. Red sandstone cliffs have been eroded into tall columns, similar in type to Solomon's Pillars in Timna Park, but free to visit and far less crowded. From Route 90, a dirt road leads to the car park. There is an overnight campsite nearby, and you can walk along the valley for about an hour, or link to the Shehoret Canyon loop to the south. Ancient copper mine remains are also nearby. There is no shade, so bring plenty of water.
