Eilat is todays preferred beach destination and sunbathing holiday paradise of Israeli families and many Europeans. Eilat "lives by the rhythm of the sun,” located near majestic desert mountains, and the Red Sea. Eilat is highly recommended for a tour extension or pre-arrival destination when traveling on a Jewish heritage travel tour

The city of Eilat is relatively speaking a very new and established city in the year of 1950, yet it has been a significant area in history as a key port; starting in the era of King Solomon whom built a fleet of war ships, and continued to the Nabataeans, Romans, Arabs, and Crusaders, all of whom ruled these lands.

In the winter and colder months Eilat attracts visitors from Europe who enjoy a vacation in a warmer and more pleasant climate then their snow covered countries, while Israelis flock to the Red Sea and Eilat in the summer. The attraction of Eilat's charm is due to a special location in the northern end of the Bay. The combination of a hot climate, tropical turquoise sea, and gorgeous backgrounds of the mountains surrounding Eilat has made it into a Israel tourist oasis all the year round.
