Eilat Mountains Nature Reserve & Mount Yoash
הר יואש
A classic viewpoint in the Eilat Mountains Nature Reserve, from which you can see four countries at once: Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
The Eilat Mountains Nature Reserve covers granite and sandstone hills northwest of the city, and the end of the Israel National Trail lies within it. Mount Yoash Lookout is the most popular stop. From Route 12, it takes only a few minutes on foot to reach it. From there you can see the Gulf of Aqaba and the coasts of Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Nearby are Ein Netafim spring and several hiking routes. The reserve borders Egypt, so keep to marked paths and do not cross the border.
