The South - The Negev Desert and Eilat


 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.

    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.

    The underwater 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

    Take a trip in the Negev Desert and visit Miztpe Rimon a village located
    near  a unique natural crater check Karkom Jeep Tours website

  Where to Eat ?

    There are lots of Restaurants in Eilat and also some branches of Tel Avivian
    good restaurants.  I have not been to Eilat for some years but I have fresh
    recommendation from friends that I can share with you

    For night outings I recommend the Monkeys which is the best music
    club/bar in Eilat for ages. It also presents live music often so check it out.
    Three Monkeys (Hebrew website) you can't miss it right on the promenade

 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.
