Amram Columns, Natural sandstone pillars in Southern District, Israel
Five tall sandstone pillars stand at the base of the western cliff near Nahal Amram, forming natural columns in the desert landscape.
During the Roman period, the area surrounding the columns contained numerous copper mining shafts, indicating substantial mineral extraction activities in ancient times.
The name Amram connects to biblical narratives, as it refers to Moses's father, establishing a connection with the journey of Israelites through the desert.
The columns remain accessible throughout the day without entry fees, with convenient parking facilities located near the geological formation.
Water penetration through vertical cracks in the cliff created these Nubian sandstone formations through natural erosion processes over extended periods.
