Eilat: Sun and Fun

Say the word Eilat to an Israeli, and a smile comes to his face. Eilat is escapism without a passport. Eilat is booming, honky tonk in the sun. It features indoor ice skating, boardwalks, boat excursions, snorkeling and beach. It is a duty free zone which attracts both internal and foreign tourists to its air-conditioned malls. For the more adventurous, Petra, in Jordan, beckons, an easy day trip from your Eilat hotel room.

The city has plans to build a golf course and develop a sports center. Primary to it’s growth plans the airport will be moved north out of town to accommodate more flights. In a few years train service will join this southernmost port town to the rest of Israel in a quick two hour journey. In the meantime, fly down, or enjoy the desert drive via the Dead Sea or the Negev Desert. We’ll see you there.

The Eilat marina continues to expand along with the city itself whose population stands at 65,000 but is projected to grow to 150,000. In just two years a train is expected to connect the city to Tel Aviv in just a two hour journey and a new airport is being built too.

How to put together your Water and Wine tour of Israel

On our Water and Wine Tours website you will not find standard tours.

Don’t worry. We’ll make sure that you experience the must-see sites in the country. But we’ve also included a comprehensive list of sites, by region for people with many different interests, with enough description for you to ascertain whether it’s the sort of place you want to spend your time.

You know your budget and how much time you have to spend here.

So here are our recommendations, based on years of leading all sorts of tours throughout the country.

Ask yourself if this trip is a vacation. Do you want to see sites but also feel really relaxed at the end of each day? So that you don’t need a few days of sleep upon your return home? If this is the case then try to restrict yourself to three major sites per day. Between the sites, travel and lunch 8-10 hours will pass quickly.
If you’re more inclined to describe yourself as a pilgrim or someone who wants a survey of sites, then expect to visit up to five sites per day. You’ll be spiritually satisfied but you’ll also need to get a good night’s sleep every night.
