Eilat (pop 85,000) is the southernmost town in Israel, isolated from the rest of the country by the [wiki=bfed6c03ab61892fe01c2ad33f335a43]Negev[/wiki] desert. It is sprawled along 7 kilometers of Red Sea coastline, between the borders of Egypt and Jordan, and offers spectacular views of the Gulf of Aqaba. Originally a strategic military outpost, Eilat's first incarnation was as a port, used for importing goods from Asia, such as oil and vehicles. In the 1970s, tourists began visiting Eilat. They were attracted by the coral reefs, sandy beaches, and the dry and sunny desert climate. The town began to develop, and tourism has become its main industry, serving as a popular holiday destination for Israelis and foreigners alike. Owing to being resort driven it is sometimes called the Ibiza or Las Vegas of Israel.

Orientation
Today, the 2-kilometer (1.2-mile) North Beach area is full of hotels with opulent names like Herod's Palace and Queen of Sheba. The Tayelet promenade extends the length of the beach front and hosts numerous stalls, street artists, restaurants, and fashionable shops. The promenade has great views of the bay, and each evening it is full of strolling tourists. The southern beach, which has coral reefs, is protected by the Israel Nature Reserve Authority. It has many public beaches and excellent scuba diving centers. Whereas the northern beach is reachable by foot and walkable, the southern beach will necessitate transportation. The Navy and commercial ports lie between the south and north beaches.

By plane
Eilat Airport (ETH) is right in the middle of the city. Flights to [wiki=b5eed9442adc540b3e59ae08aa129632]Tel Aviv[/wiki] are frequent and take only 50 minutes, but expect to pay around NIS 250 for a one-way trip. However, tourists can arrive in Eilat on charter flights via the Ovda International Airport (VDA), also known as Uvda, 65 km (40 miles) and nearly a 50 min drive from town. As of October 2015, Egged operate a regular bus from Ovda, costing NIS25 one way. This service meets all scheduled flights. A shuttle service, operated by [url=http://www.eilatshuttle.com]Eilat Shuttle[/url] operates for most flights to Ovda and costs $8 per person including dropoff at your hotel in Eilat. Eilat Shuttle also serves Taba, Aqaba, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv.
Please beware that if flying into Ovda your passport will be stamped as routine. Unlike Tel Aviv Ben Gurion, which has discontinued stamping in favour of paper slips since 2013, Ovda does not have this system in place. Therefore if you think that an Israeli stamp may cause you difficulty, consider flying to Ben Gurion to avoid any worry.
[wiki=be87c40d7c98cf7f70187dfa46df8ce5]Ryanair[/wiki] operates three direct routes to/from Eilat Ovda, with flights from [wiki=991954c83c220dd8c8fb6895cfdbbf1a]Krakow[/wiki], [wiki=9fed5dae86e3030d9be3740efa198659]Budapest[/wiki] & [wiki=3a9c3ae8ea2e275700947e511afca943]Kaunas[/wiki].
A cheaper way to get from Europe directly to Eilat is via the nearby [wiki=cd59def3023c9e0be42a59a178eab0a8]Taba[/wiki] International Airport in Egypt. Charter flights to [wiki=cd59def3023c9e0be42a59a178eab0a8]Taba[/wiki] are operated by several airlines, e.g. the German "Condor" (on Wednesdays from/to all major German airports). Taxis from [wiki=cd59def3023c9e0be42a59a178eab0a8]Taba[/wiki] airport to the Israeli border station at the Hilton hotel run for max. 150 Egyptian pounds (40 min), from there a taxi to Eilat is around 25-30 NIS (10 min). Or take local bus 15 (6 NIS). Border crossing normally takes less than 30 min. On arrival at the airport insist on Egyptian "Sinai only" visa, otherwise you're charged 15 USD visa tax. Note that Egypt charges 75 LE tax when leaving [wiki=cd59def3023c9e0be42a59a178eab0a8]Taba[/wiki] coming from Eilat.

By car or taxi
There are a couple of ways to drive from [wiki=b5eed9442adc540b3e59ae08aa129632]Tel Aviv[/wiki] to Eilat. One is via [wiki=5515a94f121a2888de70cb89c3fee9bc]Mitzpe Ramon[/wiki]. Another nice alternative is from Tel Aviv to the [wiki=87c0d1577dcf57ad22d0ea9964a67017]Dead Sea[/wiki] via [wiki=6b9e9216b4989d8675cf45404947dced]Arad[/wiki], stay a couple of days there or just make a short stop and then continue to Eilat. It takes approx 5 hours from Tel Aviv, and a similar duration from [wiki=0a5ed43ab1e290a2356aaa745e7d7196]Jerusalem[/wiki].
Taxi from the [wiki=6751054d07d2b959221db0e2b51d4577]Aqaba[/wiki], Jordan border crossing is around 35 NIS (Dec 2011). A taxi from Aqaba to the crossing is around 5 JOD (Dec 2011).

Border Crossings
Travelers from western Europe, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa can get a visa upon entering Israel.
The "Wadi Araba Crossing" from Aqaba, Jordan is 5km from the Eilat central bus station. The Jordanian exit fee is 10 JOD (Oct 2012, German passport).
The Taba, Egypt border crossing is 9km from the Eilat central bus station. The Egyptian exit fee is 2 EGP (Dec 2011, US passport).
Note: that the journey across the boarders Taba to Eilat to Aqaba, back to Eliat and finally Taba again (so in any direction) can be done without any stamps being placed in your passport. No extra fees are incurred and all stamps are placed on separate cards given to you by immigration officers. You must ask for this nicely, but the procedure was simple and quick with little hassle.
It will appear (once you throw out the cards) that you have never left your starting country.
Done with Canadian Passports in January of 2014, though it appears that nationality had no bearing whatsoever to the officers.

Central Eilat, that is the Promenade Area and vicinity of the central square can be covered on foot, although during the summer the scorching temperatures make walking around unpleasant. Only the closest public beaches are a sweaty stroll from the center, and dive sites will require motorised going. A limited bus system serves the south beach, as well as the suburbs. Taxis prowl the streets looking for fares. Insist on the meter or at least agree on the fare in advance, as Eilat's taxis are famously mercenary.
-
The main beach is in the North beach, and many of the major hotels are situated here. The south beach area (Coral Beach) is protected by the Israel Nature Reserve authority, but recent years have seen a decline in the marine life and reef quality. Fortunately, since the removal of the controversial fish cages from the Gulf water in 2008, a steady recovery of corals has been seen at all dive sites. While many divers head south to the [wiki=e31959fe2842dacea4d16d36e9813620]Egyptian[/wiki] Sinai coast to [wiki=65c9617289ce569b99a5ab38ae0c823c]Dahab[/wiki] or [wiki=2a08b8fdc9dfd0aec34c8467ee18f3e4]Sharm el-Sheikh[/wiki], to experience better diving conditions, many divers still prefer Eilat, with far smaller crowds, interesting macro life and easy, unpressured surface entries.
* Coral Beach - is the best place for scuba diving and located here are some of the best dive clubs in Israel offering technical diving courses, rebreather, nitrox, tri-mix etc.. The whole coastal area is protected by the nature reserve authority and divers are expected to follow regulations. The south beach is a great place for snorkeling, windsurfing and kite-surfing plus it has fantastic views over the bay. Entrance fee for the coral reef part is 35/30 NIS adult/students (Nov 13).
* Underwater Observatory. - One of Eilat's most popular attractions is a good way to view the Red Sea marine life without getting wet. It's white tower (Eilat's most famous landmark) offers great views above water and goes below the surface where the marine life is seen. In the marine parks aquariums are sharks, sting rays and turtles, plus lots of multi colored Red Sea fish. The huge glass windows allow visitors to get a great view the tanks occupants. The Oceanarium simulator is also a lot of fun for kids - a little scary for the smaller ones though. All in all it's a nice family morning out.
*Dolphin Reef - [url=http://www.dolphinreef.co.il/],]South Beach (3 km south of town towards the Egyptian border), tel +972-8-637-1846. Entry fee: 78/44 NIS adults/students (nov 13). Not just a tourist trap, the staff actually work to rehabilitate dolphins for life in the open sea - from whence they came. However in the past, the occasional release of the dolphins into the bay resulted in the immediate consumption of many of the nearby coral reef's inhabitants. The dolphin release project is since on hold. Various paid options are available for interacting with the dolphins, starting with snorkeling with the dolphins at NIS 227. It's a very nice beach with lots of small pools and rich shrubbery. It has a fantastic spa (relaxation pools) and is well worth a visit. For those who want to get up-close to a dolphin book your swim or dive as early in the morning as you can. The dolphins get weary of as the day goes on. Piers leading out onto the water allow everyone to get as near to the dolphins - as the dolphins want.
*"What's Up" The Observatory of Eilat and the Arava [url=http://whatsup.eilatnature.com/[/url],]"What's Up" has begun a new show. With the addition of a special camera we can show you the deep sky as well as the moon and planets on a computer screen rather then through the eyepiece of the telescope.

"What's Up" is suitable for all ages as well as being accessible to the handicapped although there are no toilet facilities at the site. What's Up" The Observatory of Eilat and the Arava, besides stargazing programs, now offers campfires, camping and hiking programs led by Colin Porter a licensed tour guide.

*Red Sea Jazz Festival This annual event takes place in the last week of August and Jazz musicians from all over the world come to Eilat, for a week of fun, sun and lots of Jazz.
*Eilat is one of the best locations in the world for learning how to kitesurf. The weather and sea conditions are perfect for beginers with steady northern winds and a calm sea. KiteXEilat offers various beginners classess.
*No license and no experience necessary SCUBA diving. As is legal in Eilat, an experienced dive master will accompany you on what could be your first ever SCUBA experience. They provide a short tutorial of the basics, and worry about all the technical details leaving you able to concerning yourself solely with breathing--and of course observing the magnificent neon subaquatic landscape.
*If you don't want to splurge on SCUBA diving you can still see a clown fish or two by snorkeling along the south beach. You can rent the equipment usually from a Kiosk nearby.
*Fun and crazy horror maze!

As an incentive there is no value-added tax in Eilat. Therefore many duty free shops line the boardwalk and culminate in a duty free shopping centre know as Mall HaYam (The Mall of the Sea). Top brands can be found, and it is joked that the first thing an Israeli does on before leaving Eilat is to fill up their petrol tank to the brim.
-
The main promenade is packed with stylish restaurants catering to tourists and locals alike, offering some of Israel's finest cuisine prepared by Israel's master chefs. Mainly owned by the major hotel chains. The vast variety of restaurants understandably come at a price, but they don't get as pricey as the restaurants of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
* For Eilat's cheap yet excellent falafel, check out the falafel joint just across the street from the bus station at the International Birdwatching Centre, on HaTemarim Boulevard.
*Pago Pago floating restaurant [url=http://www.pagopagorest.com/pp/eng/index.htm]is]an attraction in itself. The restaurant is strictly non-kosher, serving great sushi, sea-food and fantastic steaks. Not just good food but a nice relaxing evening bobbing on the waters of the marina. It's well moored so no chance of drifting off. The restaurant is a little pricey, but no more than other restaurants and you definitely get far more for your money. If you only spoil yourself with one good restaurant during your visit to Eilat, Pago Pago is definitely the restaurant to go to.
*Pedro's Restaurant, for an excellent steak, the hang-out restaurant of Eilat's diving instructors, you'll have to get a cab because it's nowhere near the tourist haunts. Well worth the effort if you are steak lover... or if you consider yourself an honorary local, either way, it's hard to tell what's tastier, the restaurant's meat or the punters..
*Ginger Restaurant, [url=http://www.rest.co.il/sites/Default.asp?txtRestID=6798[/url]]restaurant and bar. The who's who of Eilat are found in Ginger, its the new 'IN' location for Eilat's elite. Not nearly as expensive as it is exclusive, its good spot for dining if you don't mind seeing your picture in the local Eilat gossip pages.
*Barbis, [http://www.rest.co.il/sites/Default.asp?txtRestID=6253[/url] American Foods Restaurant, is a great burger place in the middle of the tourist center. Prices are cheap and the burgers are tasty and huge.
-
For a Holiday resort the expected assortment of Pubs and Bars exist on the Promenade and are also densely packed in the main square.
* The Unplugged bar[http://eilatnature.com/coupon/index.htm] is a good option. If you're looking for a place with stuck-up people, barbie doll bartenders, or tough-looking bouncers, look somewhere else, because Unplugged is nothing like it. The drink selection is somewhat limited, but still fairly good. The music ranges from American pop to Israeli trance, and they play songs in both Hebrew and English. You have the option of either sitting at the bar, chilling on a big couch, or dancing with the friendly locals. This place is often crowded, even on a Monday night.
* While evil isn't heard, seen, or spoken at Three Monkeys Pub live bands and an all-ages dance floor crowd is. Located towards the end of the promenade at the Isrotel "Royal Beach".
* Bears pub is central fixture in the main square. With a laid back feel and hookahs available Bears lends itself to chatting to the soundtrack of Israeli tunes.

This Motel has a homey feel, there are many tables and grills outside to allow relaxation away from the crowds. Mostly the rooms are private but they do offer dormitory accommodations for a cheap price.
* A colourful place to stay
