About
Eilat

Eilat, where the sun is always shining and sky is always cloudless blue, is without any bit of a doubt, Israel's number 1 attraction for relaxation tourism... and with 365 sunny days a year, one better remember to put on sun-screen.
Lying to the golden beaches of the Red Sea, on a coral filled strand, the city can offer all the pleasures, whether it's exciting diving and exploring the underwater life, relaxing and catching a tan on the beach, enjoying water sports or just stay indoors in your deluxe hotel suite.
The city's Underwater Observatory and the Yellow Submarine are two must-see attractions.
Eilat borders Aqaba, Jordan, and Taba, Egypt - both peaceful borders, open for tourists to cross through.
