A raw desert wind moves through sandstone fins as the group steps out from Six Senses Shaharut. Sunlight slices the Red Canyon into bands of red and orange; the first legs are an easy, directional hike where rock walls pressure the trail and small pools collect shadow. Guides tune the pace to the group, pointing out strata and desert herbs while the open Land Rover waits to loft riders over ridgelines.

A raw desert wind moves through sandstone fins as the group steps out from Six Senses Shaharut. Sunlight slices the Red Canyon into bands of red and orange; the first legs are an easy, directional hike where rock walls pressure the trail and small pools collect shadow. Guides tune the pace to the group, pointing out strata and desert herbs while the open Land Rover waits to loft riders over ridgelines.
Geology here reads like a slow-motion story of shifting seas and uplifted beds—sandstone and conglomerate eroded into slot-like cuts and broad, wind-sculpted ridges. The Eilat Mountains sit at a crossroads of cultures and trade routes: Bedouin families have traversed these paths for generations, and modern viewpoints look across the Gulf of Eilat to three neighboring countries. Local stops—herbal bedouin tea and lafa bread with cheese—offer a straightforward taste of hospitality around a restrained campfire.
Expect a mix of walking and off-road driving: a 40–60 minute easy trail through Red Canyon, followed by a 90-minute open-jeep run to Mount Yoash for late-afternoon views and a sunset pause. Practicalities matter—sun protection, steady shoes, and water turn a pretty outing into a comfortable one. Photography windows are tight at sunset; the guide times the ascent so the Gulf and mountains light up together. The tour moves at a relaxed pace, suitable for most travelers, but the desert demands respect—carry water, stay with the group, and leave the geology as you found it.
