Eilat & Negev desert What to do ? The dolphin reef beach is a great place to be and is a great experience especially the children Every time I am in Eilat I spend there most of the days. You can enjoy good beach facilities and also a spa. You can watch how the dolphins are fed and even swim with the dolphins. While there don't miss the great lunch in the beach restaurant. I had my best calamari ever there. Dekel Beach just before the Dolphin reef beach and after the port this is a wonderful beach with a resto bar cafe and a relaxed lay back atmosphere. However I recommend to bring your plastic shoes because you have to step on stones to enter the water.
observatory a major attraction for fish and sea fauna fans and all the family IMAX Eilat cinema and The amazing world which is at the King Salomon Hotel and is fun for little children with bumping chairs and other effects. Bird Watching - Eilat is on of the best locations for Watching the Bird Migration especially in Spring. The bird watching center in Kibbutz Lotan has an interesting website on the subject. The Timna Park is a great experience and definitely worth a visit especially at sunset. Eilat Observatory on the promenade near the bridge - check the website to learn about Astronomy opportunities and activities - you may find out when the next total sun eclipse will be : -) and plan your trip around that phenomenon
the Negev Desert and visit Miztpe Rimon a village located near a unique natural crater check Karkom Jeep Tours website For a trip to Petra in Jordan I recommend Desert Eco Tours. I just took such a day trip with them and it was great. |

Where to sleep ? There are many hotels in Eilat many luxury hotels and some budge suites hotels also hostels and rooms to rent. - if you arrive to Eilat by bus you will be met by many locals that offer rooms to let or B&B - it is advisable to go and check what the place looks like before you commit yourself. I will recommend 3 hotels where I have been and enjoyed staying. Royal Park hotel is a suites new hotel – it is not expensive but nice and comfortable with a kitchenette and a swimming pool – I recommend it if you prefer something simple and budget Royal Garden Hotel has a very beautiful garden and a magnificent pool. The suites are provided with a little and it does not serve breakfast - no English site unfortunately – but you can see the pictures The Orchid Hotel is Thailand style hotel a bit out of the town. The hotel is built on the hill and there is a Tuk Tuk that takes the guests to and from their rooms. A great view to the sea and a lovely atmosphere. We have been several times and enjoyed it a lot. Beerotaim in the Negev Desert - A unique place in the Negev to sleep and experience the desert. Ramon Inn is a nice hotel in the interesting and breath taking area of the Mizpe Ramon Nature Reservation - offers adventurous get aways in the nature around - also great opportunities for cycling and rock climbing. When there don't miss a pint at the Mitzpe Ramon visitors center the Havit Restaurant that serves food and beer with great views tel: 08-6588226 Other special restaurants in the area list in Hebrew SINAI - Egypt If you want to go farther south from Eilat to the beautiful beaches to the Red Sea in Sinai you can find nice and cheap accommodation in the Nuweiba area. I recommend a newly opened little hotel managed by my swiss friend Alvin called Nuweiba Resort Hotel - I have not been there but I take his word that it is a wonderful place to be.
