About Eilat

Eilat sits at Israel's southern tip on the Red Sea, about 310 km from Jerusalem — roughly 3.5 hours by car. It is Israel's winter-sun resort: beaches, coral reefs, an underwater observatory and a lively waterfront. Because it is a long drive, most guests travel by private taxi or 7-seater minivan, often stopping once or twice on the way. Booking a private taxi also means you keep your own schedule for the return.

What to See & Do

1Coral Beach & snorkeling

The coral nature reserve just south of the city holds some of the world's northernmost coral reefs — snorkeling right off the beach.

2Underwater Observatory

The observatory's underwater hall and marine park let you watch reef life without getting wet.

3The waterfront promenade

Restaurants, shops and the dolphin reef along the seafront — perfect for warm evenings.

4Desert surroundings

The red mountains of the Negev and Timna Park frame the city; the views are worth the drive.
