The starting point for the route is to the right of the Eilat Field School, park the vehicle in the adjacent sand parking lot or get off at the nearby bus stop. From there, go up the path toward Mount Tzafachot and continue walking on it until it connects to the right with the white-red path leading to Mount Tzafachot and the viewpoint. From there, you can decide whether to return along the footprints to the starting point or continue with the path northeast to complete a half-circle route. Those who decide to do so will need to walk the last section on a sidewalk.
