Har Shlomo, Summit in southern Israel.

Har Shlomo is a bare rocky massif 705 m high in the Harei Eilat range, about 6 km northwest of Eilat's centre and just under 3 km east of the Israel–Egypt border. Its slopes drop steeply on all sides into deep wadis: Nahal Shlomo to the west, Nahal Netafim to the north, into which Nahal Bat Sheva drains. Made of igneous and metamorphic rock, the mountain is black.

Har Shlomo is one of the oldest mountains in the Eilat range, estimated at hundreds of millions of years old, roughly 500 million years older than neighbouring Har Yehoram. It is named after King Solomon, who established the mines there. The peak was meant to be the highest of the mountains named after kings of Judah, but Mount Hezekiah was named for a higher one because Judah regained control of the area in Hezekiah's reign after a long Edomite revolt.

The mountain is named after King Solomon, who according to the sources established the mines at this site. It was meant to be the highest of the peaks named for a king of Judah, but Mount Hezekiah, named for King Hezekiah, rises higher: the sources explain this by Hezekiah's recovery of Judahite control over the area after a long Edomite revolt.

Visitors should bring adequate water and sun protection, as desert temperatures in this region frequently exceed 35°C (95°F). Early morning or late afternoon visits help avoid the most intense heat.

Har Shlomo is about 500 million years older than Har Yehoram, the neighbouring peak it is often paired with on trail maps. Its summit was meant to be the highest of the hills named after kings of Judah, but Har Hezekiah was named for a taller one because Judah regained control of this area in Hezekiah's reign after a long Edomite revolt.
