Amram Pillars – For Dogs who like to be photographed
A short and impressive hiking trail that can be combined on the way to Eilat. Here you’ll enjoy a short walk, breathtaking views, mountains and rocks in a variety of colors and shapes, and the highlight – the Amram Pillars, impressive sandstone columns rising to a height of 15 meters! A photo with Rexy is a must!
Kasui Sands – For dogs that like to wallow in the sand
Kasui Sands are actually golden sand dunes, so fine and soft that they’ll invite all of you, big and small, two-legged and four-legged, to run, reach the summit breathless, slide and roll down with excitement! It’s recommended to arrive at the edges of the day to avoid sand that’s too hot for the paws of our four-legged friends.
Upper Gishron Stream – For Dogs Who Love Viewpoints
Upper Gishron Stream is a circular route of about three kilometers where you can enjoy walking in a reddish sandstone rock stream channel, including a short climb to a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the Sinai Peninsula. A delightful hike for families traveling with their dog!
Ashosh Stream Nature Reserve – For Dogs Who Love to Walk
A huge nature reserve combining a circular hiking trail, viewpoints, and endless spaces in the Central Arava, perfect for a day trip with your dog.
Important to Remember When Hiking with Your Dog
- Bring enough water for your dog, a bowl, and snacks
- Try to avoid extensive walking in the sun, try to take breaks occasionally.
- Make sure your dog doesn’t approach dangerous high points and places where snakes might be found.
