Eilat is the southernmost city in Israel, it is a port on the most amazing of all seas - the Red Sea, from here a stone's throw to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, it is the most tourist of all Israeli cities. Here, in an area of ​​only 85 square kilometers, there is a huge number of hotels, restaurants, cafes, and the most exciting entertainment offered to tourists and residents of Israel. This is Eilat.

Since the legendary meeting of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Eilat has been a special place that attracted sun lovers and entertainment, young people, and just young at heart, alone and with whole families. And to each of them, Eilat has offered and is offering a lot of interesting and remarkable ...

Nature has fashioned a harbor of exceptional beauty at the northern tip of the Red Sea, where the purple-tinted mountains of the adjacent desert merge with the white sands of the coral sea. At the southernmost point of Israel, it is here that Eilat is located - the place where the sun has received an eternal residence. Eilat has a mild climate even in winter, and the sun warms 359 days a year. At a time when Europe plunges into a snowy, dull winter, "winter birds" in Eilat are warming their numb plumage. Tourists from all over the world enjoy a rare combination of sea, city, and the surrounding mountain desert, which offers them endless opportunities for recreation and entertainment all year round.

Holidays in Eilat are a wonderful combination of climate and entertainment, sea and desert, mountains and oases, simple Bedouin cuisine, and gastronomic delights in French restaurants.

Eilat is located in a unique place where the sea and mountains converge, and the Syrian-African rift passes. Seas, deserts, and mountains are located around Eilat in such a way that all birds flying to Africa for the winter must fly through Eilat. Therefore, the Eilat Bird Registration and Ringing Center (IBRCE) has been opened here. Professional bird watchers and bird lovers come here from all over the world to watch migratory birds. And if you drive 20 kilometers from the sea, you can see ponds where pink flamingos live.

But the main thing, of course, in Eilat, is the sea. A narrow deep crevice between African and Asian deserts, filled with seawater, is the Red Sea. Rivers do not flow into this sea, there is no rain over it, so every day half a centimeter of water evaporates from its surface, but the evaporation is compensated by the influx of the Indian Ocean. Therefore, the Red Sea is the saltiest of the seas that have a connection with the ocean and the cleanest. The seawater temperature is the same both in winter and summer: 22-26 degrees Celsius.

The combination of these factors ensures the formation and existence of corals.

In most tropical seas, coral reefs are located much further inland and are less diverse than the coral reefs of the Gulf of Eilat. Transparent warm water and the proximity of coral reefs to the coast make this beautiful, enchanting world accessible to human observation without special equipment. In 1966, the Eilat coast was declared a nature reserve, and Eilat itself became a resort center.
