Eilat Mountains

The Eilat Mountains ( "Harei Eilat") are a mountain range within the southern Negev in southern Israel. The ranges of the Timna Valley belong to the Eilat Mountains. Among the central block of mountains, Mount Hezekiah is the highest, followed by Mount Solomon.
Etymology.
The mountains are named after the nearby city of Eilat and the biblical name of the city Eilot (Eiloth), which was situated where today the city of Eilat is located.
Important Bird Area.
The ridge of the Eilat Mountains along the western side of the southern Arava Valley forms part of a 60,000 ha Important Bird Area (IBA), as designated by BirdLife International, because it supports populations of various bird species, especially waterbirds and raptors on seasonal migration.
