Descrição

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 peito-rosado-do-sinai as well as interesting desert species like Perdiz-do-deserto, Scrub Warbler, Toutinegra do Sara and Chasco-de-capuz. 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.
