Ein Netafim is a desert spring nestled in a narrow canyon about 20 minutes north of Eilat. The site features a natural water source that flows through the rocky landscape, creating small pools and lush vegetation. Visitors can hike along marked trails that wind through the canyon, enjoying the contrast between the arid desert and the cool, shaded water. It's a popular spot for family outings, with picnic tables and shaded areas. The spring is most active after winter rains, making it a refreshing escape in the dry region.
