At the most southerly part of Israel lies the seaside resort of Eilat. This tiny stretch of the Israel coastline is sandwiched between Taba in Egypt to the west and Aqaba in Jordan to the east. It was officially recognised as a town in 1959 with a population of 6,000. 50 years later, the population had increased to 55,000 and it was firmly established on the tourist map.
Today, visitors from Israel and abroad flock to Eilat which has plenty to offer with a range of hotels, shopping outlets as well as bars, cafes and restaurants. Not surprisingly, there are a large number of fish restaurants as well as others offering Italian, American, Brazilian, Japanese, Israeli, Mexican, French, Chinese, Thai, Korean and Lebanese cuisine.
The resort also has a tax-free status thus for Israelis; it is a shopping haven as they do not have to pay VAT presently at 17%. The main shopping mall is the Mall Hayam close to the beachfront and has a vast range of shops.
At night, Eilat comes to life and the Isrotel Wow Latino show is a Latin extravaganza. Wild music, dancers and virtuosos produce an electrifying atmosphere with artists performing breathtaking routines. The show is suitable for all the family and reduced rates are available for Isrotel Hotels' guests.
Eilat is also on a migration route for millions of birds so it is also a fantastic destination for bird-watchers. The scenery is stunning with desert mountains rising on either side of the Syrian African Rift Valley.
In the water, the marine life is nothing short of spectacular. There is a rich variety of coral, fish and more, Scuba diving is popular with visitors and for those who are not certified divers, snorkelling and glass bottomed boat trips are other good possibilities for seeing the underwater world. The Underwater Observatory will take you 6 metres below the ocean, enabling you to see the sea life as if you were in the sea.
The Dolphin Reef is home to a group of Bottlenose dolphins and tourists can observe these wonderful creatures in their natural environment. The dolphins are free to come and interact with divers and snorkellers who come to Dolphin Reef to observe them. For those who don't want to get into the water, floating piers and observation points are available.
So with all this and more to give you, it is obvious to see why Eilat holidays are becoming an increasingly more popular. With hotels to cater for all budgets, your Eilat holiday promises you a true "get away from it all" for the entire family.
