"The tourist city of israel" Eilat by Carmela71

Eilat Travel Guide: 386 reviews and 1,125 photos

Eilat is a resort at the south of Israel and is the gate to the Read Sea. You can find here this kind of luxury hotels of typical vacation destinations and some attractions.

From water sports to jeeps excursions on the desert, but its most famous activity is diving under the coral reefs….

A great location if you go with kids due to the amount of activities for them.

And of course lol VAT-free shopping. hehehehe

Red Sea

Delphin reef

From the beach you can see 4 countries:

Israel

Egypt's Sinai to the right

Jordan to the left

Saudi Arabia just beyond Jordan

Jordam Mountains

Jordan Mountians

I remember driving down to Eilat, the sun was setting under the mountains giving them this red colour changing it every minute… Just amaizing.

Pros and Cons

Pros:ideal for diving
Cons:Too crowded
In a nutshell:I would say, it is the Benidorm of Israel ;-)
