Yotvata Hai-Bar Nature Reserve

An archaeological site with antique cooper mines, bizarre sand stone formations, a rebuilt tabernacle, Egyptian engravings and the Solomon Pillars. Has some great spots, sights and hikes.

An "eco-village". The highlight for visitors is the arts center, a beautiful Gaudi-style structure with a 10-story-high natural cooling tower at the center. It contains art exhibits and workshops. Arrange your visit in advance.

The oldest known remaining land surface on earth, dating to 1.8 million years old, is located approximately here. It was discovered by scientists in 2009. You cannot normally enter the area, as it is a closed military zone.

A canyon that illuminates colourfully during the day and looks like a smaller version of the entrance Siq to Petra, just without the concreted path. It is particularly popular during sunset. Great for hiking close to Eilat, with close-by Mount Neshef, a camp ground and a car park.

Comfortable, inexpensive inn rooms. The school also provides tourist information and can conduct guided tours (must be ordered in advance).

The largest ancient Nabataean city in the Negev, now a national park.
