During our previous trip, we went to Timna and found some very poor quality sunstone and malachite.
I did not know that the Eilat cliffs are mostly composed of granite, with layers of pegmatite and metamorphic rocks. During this trip I found two garnet (Almandine) seams in granite, one with ~0.3 carate garnetes that seemed good, but it was in a public place so I could not get some for me:

Another seam was in the wilderness 5 meters from our hotel, but it was very poor quality :(
