Descrizione
Amram's Pillars is one of the most beautiful natural sites of the Arava desert area north of Eilat. The soft Nubian Sandstone pillars are the result of sandstone erosion. With no cellular reception or any sign of civilization, Amram's Pillars are the place to experience the desert in its full magnitude. The area around the campsite and the trailhead to Mt. Amir are the best sites for the elusive Ciuffolotto scarlatto del Sinai as well as interesting desert species like Pernice delle sabbie, Scrub Warbler, Sterpazzola nana and Monachella dal cappuccio. The best time to visit is between late autumn and early spring.
During spring migration don't forget to look up. Like most places around Eilat many birds of prey and storks can be seen passing overhead.
