jacobdafniMost of us do not know the  facts of this fascinating geological area in which we live. For Dr Jacob Dafni, an Eilat resident for 50 years, doctor of zoology and marine geologist at heart, writing books on Eilat land and sea, is his mission. Dr Dafni writes his fourth book, to help us  know and remember the natural sources on which we sit. His 4th book, Eilat Mountains - landscapes,

minerals and fossils, focuses on land once part of the  Eilat area.The book deals mainly with the geological aspects - composition of the rocks Omaagoonm, methods of formation and a description of the fault crossing the mighty Middle East that created the Gulf of Eilat, the Arava and Jordan valleys. Aspect Geomorphology designed Nupiam describes how and what influenced the natural history of the region. Abundance of pictures, maps and drawings ensures easy understanding. "Eilat Mountains constitute a pilgrimage site for researchers, geology enthusiasts and tour guides.
Apart from the experience - climbing, walking in nature and views overlooking the mountains ahead, you are actually  walking on landscapes where natural history folded billion years old:
