Mount Tzfachot
הר צפחות
A small hill behind Coral Beach. From the summit you can look out over the Gulf of Aqaba and the coasts of four countries. It is the easiest sea-view hike from the city.
Mount Tzfachot rises to about 280 metres, west of Coral Beach and the Underwater Observatory. The hike starts near the Southern Field School and takes 2 to 3 hours round trip. The path is gravel, and some sections are steep. From the top you can see the Gulf of Aqaba, Eilat's city centre, Aqaba in Jordan and the Saudi coast. Watching the sunrise come up over the Jordanian mountains from the summit is especially spectacular. In summer you must set out early in the morning and bring plenty of water.
