If you are traveling by car, start from the main strip of hotels in Eilat. Head north on Route 90 (also known as the Dead Sea Road) for approximately 30 km. Once you reach the junction for Route 12, turn left. Continue on Route 12 for about 7 km until you reach the entrance to the Red Canyon. There is parking available near the entrance, and you may need to pay a small fee for parking (around 10-20 NIS). The canyon is a short walk from the parking area.
Public Transportation

For those using public transportation, take a bus from Eilat's central bus station. Look for buses heading to 'Timna Park' or 'Mitzpe Ramon', as many of these will pass near the Red Canyon area. The journey may take around 30-45 minutes, and you should inform the driver that you want to get off at the Red Canyon stop. The bus fare is approximately 20-30 NIS. Once you arrive, there may be a short walk to the canyon entrance.
Taxi or Ride-Sharing

Alternatively, you can use a taxi or ride-sharing service (like Gett) from Eilat to Red Canyon.
