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. In its early days, Eilat 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.
Eilat also has a tax-free status so for Israelis; it is a shopping haven as they don't have to pay VAT currently at 17%. The main shopping mall in Eilat is the Mall Hayam not far from the beach front and has a wide 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 additionally on a migration route for large numbers of birds thus it is also a brilliant place for bird-watchers. The scenery about Eilat is dazzling with desert mountains soaring on each side of the Syrian African Rift Valley.
In the water, the marine life in Eilat 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 travellers and tourists can witness these popular creatures in their natural habitat. The dolphins are free to come and play with divers and snorkellers who found yourself in Dolphin Reef to watch them. For people who really do not want to jump into the sea, floating piers and vantage points are on hand.
With all this and more to give, it is simple to understand why Eilat holidays are becoming increasingly more sought after. With hotels to suit all budgets, your Eilat holiday promises you a true "get away from it all" for the whole family.
