The beach pavillion Eilat Coral Beach Nature Reserve is a beautiful coral reef and swimming spot that offers snorkeling, swimming areas, and footbridges. It's one of the best places to dive in Eilat, and the offshore seas are home to a vibrantly brilliant world of coral and darting fish.
Great beach if you want quiet and snorkeling. Bathrooms, showers, snorkel rentals. Lots of shaded areas and picnic tables. Not much parking but you can park across the street

Great dive location. Good facilities at the various centres.
Shame the Israelis dont clean up their dog's mess on the beach

Nice experience. The reef is well protected and you can swim alongside it in some areas to watch all the fish. You can even spot some fishes from the bridge without entering the water.

Our preferred place in Eilat!
Every time we are in Eilat we go to this place, the best still and ever.
Actually we were there every day, not a problem as we slept at the Yam Suf Hotel, only a 5 minute walk to there.
1. the beach is incredibly looked after
2. The Reserve guards are watching all the time for trespassers so very little chance something bad could happen to you while swimming
3. and of course the corals and the fish.
Yes the coral are less beautiful than in the previous years, the mini tsunami a few years ago did damage the reef, but still they are interesting and the fish are till there and still super beautiful.
Don't "FOMO" it, would you?

Great place to see the Corals with plenty of fishes close to the beach.
There are souvenirs shop, snorkel rental, bathroom with showers, activities by the Reshut hateva staff, and a food store which sells snacks, beverages and ice creams.

I loved everything about this place. Friendly English speaking staff, clean territory, reasonable prices for equipment purchase and rent, clean and spacious toilet/shower room, clean beaches. The overall impression is AWESOME! I'll definitely come back again for more diving and snorkeling!

It is a well organized reservoir, with a variety of fish and corals. There are shaded places to sit with beach chairs and picnic tables.
I like the extra activities (movies about the reef, corals guide and guided snorkeling tour, and all are included in the entrance ticket)

Great place. Amazing biodiversity, the beach is nice and convenient. The corals are very close, and you can almost touch them (but you shouldn't). If you don't swim it is still nice to look on the fish and corals from the pier. There are lockers with USB charging stations, and the place is very relaxing.

Very beautiful there is a free version which is quite crowded, but if you pay a little you get a clean, beautiful and not crowded at all beach. The fish and coral are incredible and I was particularly impressed with how careful the lifeguards were with the wildlife. Would definitely go again

Enough shade, showers and toilets clean, free cold drinking water, can rent snorkel equipment and protected area to swim, with extra area for kids. Beautiful place. Must go there, better then public beaches and only 35 shekel per adult or 18 shekel up to age 18.

We had a lovely day out here. It was February, so out of season and not too busy. Lots of beautiful sea life up close in enormous tanks. Also, a very nice undersea viewing room and a sub trip if you want. Loads of facilities and other interesting things to see..... Lovely and we'll worth a visit 😀

One of the good beaches in Eilat
Clean, had toilet, shop, walk route, bridge directly to Red see with excitement view of corals, different fish types
It's needed some payment, check possible options before coming there
It's better come with your own equipment
Pay attention - NO SAFE GUARDS

Amazing place! Make sure you take snorkels! For 35 shekel, the place offers quite an experience! A long stretch of white sand, beautiful reefs to snorkel and pretty secure!
Timna Park is a geological wonder and national park in Israel, containing ancient mineshafts and striking clifftops. Visitors can hike across the park to see amazing works of nature and ancient man in the mines, as well as wildlife, plants, and trees.
A desert hiker's paradise!
Amazing park! The hiking points are absolutely breathtaking.
Advise: lots of water! Comfortable hiking wear and lots of sunscreen and hats!
WC points are also limited so best to prepare!
Easiest hiking trail points are about one and half hour to two hours. We spent the whole day at Timna Park. Won't advise you to go there if you are in a hurry.

Magnificent nature park. Convenient roads take you to many attractions, there is a variety of hiking options - 30 minutes, 90, or few hours. Nature and Archeology at its best.
Yosi K. Karl — Google review
Important: This place is huge, the ticket is for 3 days because doing it all in 1 day is very hard. it contains many places that are very far away from one another so you drive from one place to the other by car. You can also do it on bicycle if you wish (I saw bicycles for rent including electric ones). If you are really brave you can do a lot of hiking here. Be very prepared to be protected against the sun - sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, long sleeve clothes and tons of water.
This place is what you dream about when you think about a desert. You can easily forget you are in israel and imagine you are on mars or some other deserted planet of your liking. We went only to 2 points so we didn't actually see much but our breath was definitely taken away by this alien place. The photos don't really show it, you must come to feel and see.

The Underwater Observatory Park in Eilat is a huge aquarium complex with an observatory that takes you under the water to see the reef and the fish and coral. The highlight of the aquarium is the Coral World Underwater Observatory, which has two large display halls that descend 12 meters below the surface of the Red Sea.
Wonderful. From walking through the lively coral reef to the 3D cinema which is unlike any other I have witnessed. The screen goes above the head so that it can be protected from any point in the room and looks like the whole is above you.
It is also not all inside, you can take a nice walk in the sun between the different sections of the aquarium .
Does not compare to the London aquarium in the slightest.

We’ve been to aquariums all over the world and this isn’t the glossiest or the most high tech. But my kids love it and beg to come back every time we are in Eilat. There’s lots of different things to do that keep everyone entertained and you cannot beat seeing fish in their actual habitat. We love this charming little place. The 3-D movie was a huge hit!
Rachel Shapiro — Google review
This place is a must see for young and old.
It is a beautifully maintained park, with a big variety of coral. The underwater observatory is absolutely amazing. The water of the red see is also accommodating the coral beautifully.
The aqua dome is also an experience like none other. The whole is turned into a 3D video and it literally feels like you are under the ocean and touching the sea life yourself.
The shark pool is amazing to visit during feeding time as there are divers who get in and feed them.
It is really a world to visit and enjoy every second. There is lots of souvenir shops and also restaurants. And obviously what is better than a nice-cream on a hot day in a wonderful place 🙂

A real fun place for kids, but also for the sea animal lovers. We had a guided tour and it was perfect and well explained. I enjoyed every bit of it. I would have enjoyed more if the glasses were a bit cleaner. Nevertheless, it was fun.

Great place to visit. Easy to get to by bus from Eilat. You can buy tickets online or at the gate. The exhibits are lovely.. sharks, stingrays, corals, turtles, octopi, fish. Climb the observatory to the top to see great views of the Red Sea.. then go below sea level to view coral and fish. Try and avoid Jewish / school holidays is it gets very busy. The 3D movie was an extra .. it was not so good.
Dolphin Reef is a protected beach in Eilat with abundant shade trees and a resident pod of bottlenose dolphins. Visitors can enjoy lounging on floating piers or taking a guided tour of the dolphins' habitat. Contact with the dolphins is strictly prohibited.
Fun, scuba diving swim alongside dolphins. Clean beach. Environmentally-conscious, and animal- care-conscious place. Wonderful, knowledgeable and professional guides.
Galit Yona — Google review
I have very mixed feelings about this place. We do end up here every time we come to Eilat and I like that the dolphins are free to come and go as they please BUT it’s very expensive and crowded. You just catch short glimpses of the dolphins (true it’s because they aren’t penned in which is a good thing). All of the activities cost extra and the prices are extremely high. I dunno, it’s only a so/so experience. We’ve had a much better time at some of the free beaches. The food is typical beach food with typical beach prices although I will say the Greek salad I had for lunch was quite tasty. I guess I would say, this doesn’t need to go on your Must Do list but if you’re out of activities and you need a few hours to kill, this isn’t terrible.
Rachel Shapiro — Google review
Absolutely loved it! The dolphins were so cute and the entrance was gorgeous! Defenitatly recommend if you are coming to Eilat. I would recommend to come early in the morning if you want to choose a good spot to spend the rest of the day. It gets crowded but there are still a lot of places under the trees to hide from the sun. The water was super clear and security was okay.

Suchhh a beautifull place to watch dolphinsss, the dolphins are free to wander in the ocean which beautifully symbolized how free they are and just how they love their care takers enough to come back all the time to hang around us! Beuaitufl resort right next to a very aesthethic looking wooden structure with a sight and a bar and places to sit every where on, on the wooden water floating structure u also get great and beautiful ocean views and can see the dolphins in the big circle! Before the wooden structures there's of course a beach u can chill in and just wander around shops and soveniers 💕✨

Small beach with expensive entrance fee with a little to see (compared to other Eilat beaches) with independent snorkeling.
The "swim with dolphins" which costs a little short of 300 nis left me with mixed feelings: The dolphins are impressive and the guides are very nice, but how much of a dolphin you are going to see is based on luck. Additionally the system is built as if you are an evil moron who visited the sea for the first time: you swim holding hands, no diving, no cameras allowed.

One of the must visit beaches of Eilat.
Seeing the dolphins so close is awesome. I got some real nice pictures and videos of them playing.
The restaurant and service are good - surprisingly tasty and priced fairly. The facilities are cleaned regularly.
There are peacocks freely walking around, which is exciting for the kids. There's even an albino peacock.
I highly recommend visiting, but you better get there right before they open or it'll be hard to find any parking. Note! Entrance is at a fee, but you get a beach the isn't crouded, even at high season.

Wow, what an gem of a place! First time ever, a beautiful, lush spot to spend the day, with or without diving. My daughter had an incredible first time scuba diving with the dolphins. The diver guide was very patient with her and she'll never forget the experience. The restaurant is fine, there's also a bar on the premises. Not cheap, but worth it!
Julia Mor — Google review
Wow!! So much to do and Beautifully designed. Lots of trees and shade. The bar was a little over priced for what it gives, and there aren't other options there. But all the waiters were really friendly. And the best thing is the dolphins, that swim around all the time And enjoy the divers and people. Scooba diving was amazing! My personal guide was sweet and patient. The corals were stunning, and the dolphins were sweet and friendly
Isrotel Theater is situated in the center of Eilat, Israel within the Royal Garden Hotel premises. The theater presents a variety show named Wow! six nights a week except Sunday. This show is outstanding and worth its cost, though photography and videography are not allowed.

Fantastic show, so entertaining. Fun for all the family and nice discount for Isrotel hotel guests.

The southernmost beach in Israel, Princess Beach is perfect for swimming and snorkelling. It's located close to the Princess Hotel, which makes it a popular spot for tourists. The clean waters of the Red Sea are a beautiful backdrop for the wild coast of boulders.
Went two days in a row while visiting in Eilat. Well worth the visit. Great swimming and snorkeling as well. Nice shaded areas provided free of charge.

Good snorkeling. Unfortunately there is a kiosk on the beach blasting incredibly loud music all day, which made the stay very unpleasant for us.

Free, yes but not at the same level than the close Nature Reserve.
If you like snorkeling and you prefer to save the 10 bucks of the entrance fee at the Coral Beach Nature reserve, so this is the place to be.
There are showers, toilets, but not that many parking spaces.
Still the landscape is incredible, especially at sunset.
And swimming in the red sea is simply the thing.

This is not really maintained public beach but it is free (though parking in the abandoned hotel parking lot is not formally free, costs some little amount per hour). There are public tents where you can put your towels/chairs to hide in the shade. There are two piers and for some reason fish likes the one that is closer to the Egypt border more. Just having googles for swimming or snorkelling mask is enough to enjoy the colourful nature there.

There were closed toilets, no showers. Beach was little. The piers were closed. We didn’t swim there, so i cant’t rate the undersea life. I do not recommend for tourists. Go to another beach.

Far away from the crowds in downtown Eilat this beach does not look very spectacular at first glance (especially with the backdrop of an abandoned hotel ) but we were positively surprised. The snorkelling was awesome! You have to be able to ignore the horrible facilities and the grumpy kiosk owner (cash is king)
10/10 would recommend!

The beach itself is a great place to swim and snorkel. The water is really clean and clear. It is also located right on the boarder of Egypt so technically your swimming on the line between 2 counties.
For anyone who was wondering; The reason they call this beach the Princess Beach and not The Taba Boarder Beach is because of the abandoned hotel next to it.
It used to be an amazing hotel with a private beach front until it closed down.

From Eilat City center, just take 5 minutes by car and 10 in bus. one of the best sites.

Amazing place, gets the best of Sinai bedouine camps and Israeli luxury. You can easily spend the entire day at this place or leave and watch your place gets taken in a blink of an eye by visitors preying on free location. Their dishes seem pricey at first but impressively well done and filling. The staff and visitors are all in a good mood, our dog was a big hit with everyone and got so many pets. Not much coral in the water, but large schools of fish gather nearby sometimes.
Highly recommend the Sabich, the Jahnun at saturday and the Ice Coconut with espresso.

Place is cozy, right on the beach with lots of tables every where, messy but enjoyable.
I just find it ridiculous when they serve a glass of both white and red wine but ros`e only in bottles of minimum 750ml..... The waiter replied saying "people don't order rose here".
They could not switch the Tabule salad with regular chopped veggies because "that kitchen does not cut, another kitchen does".
We won't be returning during our weeks vacation, there are plenty of other places to visit.
Visit with low expectations for a more enjoyable time out.

Cool beach bar/café, had a nice breakfast for 60 shekels. The beach is also nice but very rocky, so bring shoes for getting into the water.
CATALINA CEA MARCHINI — Google review
The beach itself is an amazingly beautiful place full of exotic plant life and wooden decor. Even the bar is made all of wood and so are the decks you walk on. The bar itself reminds a bit of a Thailand get away meets Sinai camp site.
Pros:
- The food is really good if your coming for breakfast and don't mind vegitarian ( because this place has no meat).
- The sitting areas are all unique and comfortable, even on the sandy parts of the beach.
- The water is clean and clear and there are plenty of places to snorkel.
- There is a really cool scuba center and even a booth for peta bread made on stone.
Cons:
- The staff itself was an absolute delight however seemed vastly under pressure. Even our sweet heart of a server which was an absolute delight found herself running back and forth non stop. We would suggest backing up the poor staff.
- The beer is ok however the cocktails have much room for improvement. A cocktail should have some taste of alcohol and not just taste like fruity juice.
I would have left 5 stars if not for the 2 over priced cocktails that had near to no alcohol inside.

Amazing ambiance, outdoor tables under trees and on the beach with great views on the see and Eilat golf.
The waiters are very friendly, food is very tasty.
On Friday and Saturday morning i strongly recommend the Shekshuka (crushed tomatos cooked with oignons, garlic and eggs).
It is served with salad and a whole "Hala" (traditional Shabat bred)/
Price are very very fair, which for this kind of place, is very surprising.

The hotel feels a bit outdated.
The food is OK, but there's no labels on the food plates which is a bit annoying.
The standard room is a bit small but comfortable. The shower is inside a tub, and is a bit small too. The tub floor is a bit slippery. The ceiling is not too high which could be problematic for tall people standing in the shower.
The hotel is a bit small (only 2 floors) so there's only 1 elevator, but the corridors are long. Our room was at the end of the corridor - which was annoying because we had to walk about 2 minutes to get to/from the room.
The location is pretty good - a 1 minute walk to the Ice Mall and 5 minutes to the Tayelet (promenade).
There's barely any parking offered by the hotel, and surrounding parking is lacking. If you arrive by car, then once you are lucky enough to find parking you should either walk (if it's not too hot) or take a taxi wherever you go.
The hotel has no spa service.

It was one of the worst hotel stays I had!
We are a family of 2 parents and 3 children. Stayed in the hotel from Thursday, August 31st, through September 3rd.
We arrived but the room for us was not ready. We received the room after 17:00 (5pm). No apologies, no offer for any activity for kids, nothing! We were stuck in a lobby for hours, and any of my questions were replied, "You have to wait," and "you can complain, write a letter."
They position them self as a 4-star hotel, but it is more like 2 stars.
The room keys (cards) stopped working every day of our stay, and we had to go to a reception every time to get them decoded again. The reception tried to blame us for this as we stored them unproperly, but we had 1 key card laid on a table in the room, and it was not working as well!!!
The free Wi-Fi as promised we were unable to use as it was not working due to a malfunction for our entire stay, which was very uncomfortable!!!
The only good thing was the breakfasts and dinners in the hotel as the food was good and the restaurant staff were nice and helpful!
Do not recommend the hotel!

The hotel is not a 4 star hotel, I would barely give it 2 stars. The hotel is extremely dirty and more of a hostel look then a " 4 star hotel". The sheets are dirty, the walls have stains all over, the bathroom looks disgusting. We had to leave due to a lack of hygiene maintained by this hotel. The front desk was not looking to accomdate or offer any alternatives.I would stay far away as there are much better hotels in the area!

My parents and I stayed at the junior suit for one weekend. The food was nice, not perfect, big veriaty to choose from (breakfast and dinner). The pool is big for the size of the hotel. However, the rooms themselves do need improvment in the matter of coloring and utilities. Our room wasn't cleaned until noon so we had to ask for clean towels on the second day. The hotel is near a main street so there is some noise, but, very close to Ice Mall and the beach.

This is the first time ever that I post a review on a hotel, because I don’t ask for a lot, but this time it was to much.
The room was awful.
The staff didn’t help us, they ignored us, and made fun of our requests.
The water in the shower was yellow and looked very dirty.
The room didn’t have chairs or tables only one bed, we didn’t have space for our clothes, just awful room.

I asked for a discount or some kind of compensation for the noise. I got bubkes. If I wanted to be kept up till 11 pm with loud music, I’d stay at a cheap hostel that’s 1/3 the price of this place.

The food was very bad and uneatable.
Its the worse hotel ive been in and for sure not coming again.

Nice hotel for families with children
A good family run hotel in its category. Almost all rooms in the hotel are 2 or 3 room suites. There are a few standard double rooms, but they are very small and cannot fit more than two people. Most of the guests are families with children. On weekends, Israeli youths come and hang out by the pool to the music all day. We got a 2-room suite on the ground floor with access to the pool. The room is clean, tidy, furniture and plumbing are in good condition.

We were staying in two junior suites during a long weekend in March 2022. Our rooms faced Ice mall. They were small, without a balcony. Overall, the level of the rooms and the hotel match a 3 star hotel, in my opinion, and not more. It is the small things, like mold spots in the bathroom, or the lack of faucet and a sink outside of the one in the bathroom (one room had and the other did not). The service had several flows such as towels that were not regularly replaced, or when we asked for wine glasses for the room we were first refused and then sent to get them ourselves from the dining room... The food was good as well as the service in the dining room. The public areas are also in good shape. The location of the hotel is excellent, 5 minutes walk from the promenade and 5 minutes from the Ice mall. Overall, as long as you set your expectation level to a 3 star hotel, you will be pleased.

I liked the hotel very much! In the morning, a good breakfast buffet. There are many things for every taste. Nice pool, clean and does not smell of bleach. There is a seating area with tables, chairs and sofas. Clean, pleasant, you can relax with pleasure. Nice administrator! Thank you Zarai for your help, very positive impressions!

I have not seen such service anywhere in Aerobatics. The cuisine is top notch. Insane abundance of food. Super Menu Be it a buffet, be it a buffet, where you won't go just so tasty and you don't know so much what to eat, your head is spinning !!! Rooms are chic. Comfortable service is excellent. All in all, it was the best vacation of our life.
The Botanical Garden is an ecological park in Eilat, Israel. It features a peaceful stream, waterfalls, walking paths and a rainforest.
Definitely worth visiting.
Very nice place a lot of shadow.
Most of the wooden staff is made of reused wood.
I would add in my personal opinion it's one of the best places to visit in Eilat.

It is impressive to find such a nice and pleasent surprise in the desert, especially considering that it was createad in a totally empty place with very harsh conditions. The ladies working there will address happily any of your questions, and it is worth asking them to share briefly the story of the place.
We have spent approximately an hour in the garden, finishing our visit with a very nice cup of tea.

This place was really a suprice. I tought this was quite basic , but this place is very nice. It has many view points to take pictures. There is alot walking routes and places to sit. If you visit eilat this is a good place to go.

The smallest botanical garden I've ever visited, but worth every star for the (totally private) initiative, care, neverending improvements (grows better and nicer from visit to visit).
Considering the size of the site, the variety of microenvironments, microclimates and plants is astonishing.
There's also an extremely varied and well taken care of plant nursery and shop.
Greatly recommended for locals (free for proven Eilat citizens) as well as for "foreigners".

Beautiful and uniqe tropical island in the desert. Plenty of adorable sitting spots and lots of shaded areas. Don't miss out the rain forest water sprinklers on hot days! The place is way above expectations for a private initiative like that.

Lovely visit and well worth visiting. Warm welcome on arrival. Great views. You'll also find out about an army look out post among the botanical gardens and rain forest.

If you are coming from a country where there is plenty of trees, it is not impressive and just torture under 40 degrees Celcius temperature. If you are coming in summertime and coming from a country where there is beautiful trees, it would be just a waste of 30 shekels. And there is no cold water coming from the taps which makes your experience much more miserable.

They threw us out when we asked if we could eat their. We payed for being there and their only replay was that "you can't eat here if you don't buy food" They also said that your not allowed to bring dogs and they have dogs there. Such hypocrits!

We arrived late thinking it was open till 1700 but because of Passover it was only open 1500, so we just had 20 mins at full price. But otherwise very nicely made for a visit for an hour or so

Kind of boring, but they have a cute dog there called Snow.
There are no interesting trees, and one of the cactuses I saw there I have at home.
I guess the big deal is that it's all in a desert
Ice Mall is a shopping mall in Riyadh that features an Olympic-sized skating rink, restaurants, and attractions such as laser tag and rides.
Really cool mall. Lots to do for kids. Loads of places to eat as well. Nice shops and plenty of things to see. Parking is not the best though and a bit dangerous to cross the road so have to be careful with kids. Unique shopping experience in Israel.

Activities ,it has ice skating arena ,a circle around the mall roof omega as you see in the photos! inCase U wanna just hang out in the air for few minutes while controlling the speed of your flight 🌈 and of course restaurants and fast food services! and on the outside there's a wide view of a big lake just next to the entery and exit ,and alot of statues for the family pictures and sometimes even street performers!

Amazing concept. Circular building. Entrance on the first floor and shops in a ring around. Than you can go down with in the middle an ice rink and again shops and a few eating/drinking places around. And at half height on the side an excellent place for coffee and overall view.
Patrick Van Den Noortgaete — Google review
Several activities and attractions for children and grownups.
Loved the Babylon video games area on the second floor. The girls also enjoyed the Babylon tower.
You can sit at the Aroma Cafe and watch the skaters in the ring.
Not all the shops open on Saturday. Those that do open, may open later than 10 AM, around noon even.

Awesome mall in downtown Eilat for kids and the whole family. Includes a ice skating rink, kids roller coaster as well as a hanging ride overhead tracks. Lots of shopping and some restaurants. Has arcade inside, and a small lego store. Prices are somewhat high.

Best mall in Eilat! Designed very modern and attractive! The newest mall compare to the others which a bit older. Huge selection of stores for every department: clothing, accessories, shoes, electronics, coffee shops… anything! even has a big skating pad in the middle with few attractions for the kids including a big gaming room. And the most important: tax free shopping 😃 enjoy! 🛍🎁👗👕👖👠👟👓👜

I love this mall, such a clean entertaining place. Family and kids friendly. I loved shopping here. I wish the entertainment and shopping was separated to make shopping quiter, but I understand that this is local culture that everyone and everything is loud.

This is a big shopping mall in Eilat with Olympic size ice skating rink. There are lots of stores for varieties ranging from clothing to other things. Various restaurants are also available. We visited on a Saturday, Only McDonald and Arik were open. I guess you should visit between Sunday to Friday to have options to choose from the eateries. There is a lot of games leisure activities for both adult and kids as well. It is perfect for both family and single outing

Very nice place with variety of activities, stores and restaurants,
It's a circular structure where in the middle you can find a large ice skating area, the design is well executed and the place is well maintained.
You can find alot of restaurants, stores and activities here.
The mall is at a very convenient accessible area, close to many hotels.

One of the better malls in Eilat; it has a variety of stores inside as well as the spacious layout of the mall. Love the openness and the fact that there are many areas that you can view the ice rink which is set in the center with a dome roof above. There is also a ride that you can go on that travels above the mall where you ride and follow the perimeter of the mall just below the dome roof. Pretty cool ride for people who aren’t afraid of heights. Most vendors in the mall speak English as well!

Great mall with great selection of stores and places to eat. The fact that you walk in circles inside this dome gives it a unique touch. Also great that you can go ice skating there which is quite a contrast with the 30+ climate right outside the mall.
Dekel Beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the views. It's located south of the city, which means it's less crowded than North Beach. The beach is sandy and has a great view of the port. There are plenty of shaded areas and trees for you to find refuge from the sun. If you're looking for a perfect beach to spend some time at in Eilat, Dekel is definitely worth checking out!
Good clean beach. Chairs are 10 shekels/chair, sunbathing chair 20. Nice food at the restaurant on the beach. Make sure to grab slippers or wet shoes to enter the sea. It's either really hot to walk on the send or really painful to walk on little sharp stones. And bring water:)
Nina Trabskiy — Google review
Well structured for the beach lover.
Clean bathrooms.
Good bar service.
The site is split into two different styles:
- north side has a large wooden deck, suited for those who want to sit by the tables, close to the bar and restaurant;
- south side is rustically styled, with straw shades (and also a large canvas tent during summertime) and a drink and snack bar.
There is chair, table and sunbed rental service available at official prices on both sides.
There's also a floating platform with bathing sofas and cushions for rent.
Entry to water is made through carpets on definite corridors in order to prevent visitors from revolving the stones and corals, which is a nice idea, which could be improved by simply removing the stones from those corridors, as it is quite impossible not to stumble on them, once we don't know where they are.

Visited on a Friday afternoon.
loads of beautiful people dancing on the beach front, a bit like a mini rave with families and kids too.
Sitting areas on the deck with shade 😎
Food drinks music and beach ⛱
We all had a great time, kids loved it.

Great place for snorkeling but you better bring it from home if you don't want to pay 2x.
There is a nice restaurant and even a floating bar.
You can rent plastic chairs for 10ILS a chair.
There are decent restrooms.
I would give it 4.5 stars.

It's a calm place, walk distance from Aria Hotel, very easy to find. The beach has lot of sand, so it's a good choice. You can buy drinks, snacks and food at the local bar, the crew is very kind and cool. I recommend it.

Nice and clean beach. The entry, the bathroom and the shower is free.
During the day was not so crowded, maybe because the water is still a bit cold. 😬😄
The beach is a bit rocky but there is a path to the water.
Bence Fodor — Google review
Decent beach with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Free entrance, public washrooms are clean. The restaurant has average prices but not too high for beach side. Food is delicious, we had the fried cauliflower and salmon wrap, Turkish coffee and an orange-carrot drink, all for 132NIS with tip included. There is plenty of parking and you can rent a lounge chair or regular chair. Swimming isn’t recommended here because there is no lifeguard but some people went in anyways. Sand is a bit rocky but water looks nice and clear. Some sand flies here and there, wheel chair accessible entrance.
MadeBy VR — Google review
I gave a low score because of my expectations. Maybe they were too high. Not sure.
I come from Haifa. In Haifa the beaches have sand when you enter the water, here there are rocks, so you better bring footware to enter the water. The area of the beach is also very small and no free shade on the sand. There are no changing rooms, so we had to change in the toilets which is very strange for a beach. Showers were only outdoor ones - also very strange IMO.
So if you expect to have a changing room, indoor showers where you can get naked, free shade and easily to enter the water without shoes - this place sucks.
Otherwise the water is nice, and I had fun swimming here nontheless.

The Camel Ranch in Eilat is a family-friendly camping ground with a rope park and bungee jumping, as well as camel treks into the desert. There are also many other activities available on-site, such as a huge wooden climbing park. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the area is beautiful.
We had such a great afternoon doing a family camel ride and then eating pita made right in front of us while we sipped delicious Bedouin tea. I’m so happy I found this place! So many other fun adventures to do besides camel riding as well. I wish we had more time there!

Two (maybe more) hours to spend in a pastoral location, with a very kind guide, a nice desert in the end, makes the experience worth the money.

We did donkey carriage ride with tea and pita with small kids. Was a short ride but nice for family will kids. Only disappointment was that pita was replaced with matza during pesach... Camel ride is for a bit more advanced people (because it's high) and jeep to go further into the desert. This place had very clean toilets and gramping facilities and a ninja-kind of athletics for bigger kids over 120cm.

We bought a 4 hours camel ride tour. It was great and I recommend everybody, who get the camel knows better, because the tour guide tell some useful information about the camel. We went freely with the camels and they knew the way, so it was no problem at all. However, it is worth dressing appropriately (long pants, long top, hat, scarf)
We got 1,5 liter water to the ride, and a beduin meal in end of the tour.
Our best experience in Eilat❤️😍
Gina Hermann — Google review
We went there in January, which is off season ant had camel tour for 1.5 hour.
At first I was not very impressed, the place didn’t look good. A little bit Mad Max vibes :) but the Camel ride was very nice and interesting experience, the guide was nice and told a lot about camels, later we had a tea and freshly baked pita, which was part of the tour and felt quite authentic and suitable for the desert!
So we would totally recommend it!
Btw, we got there using Gett. App with taxi, it cost us about 40 IlS, or ~11 eur.

We came for a short camel ride (~$12 pp) which was very nice. Later, the camel handler let us feed the camels and goats with crackers. There's a small cantina where we got some popsicles. Better to get there before noon or 11am when the heat is still bearable. They have other activities like buggy rides and an extreme park for kids.

Absolutely great place. Our friendly guide Eric made it a fun and friendly trip, and shared a lot about Israeli culture over the food he made for us. This made it a great experience way above just riding the camels.
The beach in Migdalor is a nice place to relax and enjoy the view. It has no entrance fee, which makes it accessible to everyone, and there's also a restaurant on the beach that serves delicious food.
Beautiful beach. There we very good high pressure showers. Many corals here, but not colorful. But there were a lot of different fishes, very colorful!! There is a kind lady on the beach restaurant.

Beautiful views underwater, with corals and all kinds of colourful fish. Free entrance. Great for snorkeling. (Of course, be considerate and enter/exit the water only through the marked zones, don't touch the corals, don't use harsh chemical sunscreens that are bad for marine life).
Easily accessible by public transport from city centre (buses 15, 16, 30). There's some shade to hide from the sun. Some people are freecamping nearby.
There's a bar with WiFi and sun loungers (if you need such a thing) nearby. The bar itself was quite nice. The guy dealing with sun chairs and loungers wasn't (leering and talking in quite a rude way). Even if you buy something from the bar, you still have to pay separately to use sun loungers.

The International Birding and Research Center Eilat is located on the Jordanian border, near the Yitzhak RabinWadi Araba Border Crossing. The best time to see migrating birds here is in spring and fall, when hundreds of millions pass through. There are well-marked routes throughout the reserve with plenty of hides scattered along the way at some of Israel's best bird watching spots.
Very peaceful trail, nice place to take family. The employees in the center were overwhelmingly friendly when we went. I also follow the center on FB and they post great bird photos. Really loved this place at sunset, will recommend to anyone traveling to Eilat.

A local centre in Eilat (5km north of the city) focused on the studying and helping of migratory birds that pass from Eurasia to Africa (and back).
Open 24/7, free entrance. BUT! Call in advance to book a local, very experienced, guide that will take you around (mandatory). 35 shekel per person or 100 per family.

The place looks well equipped with different habitats and nice hides but when we went in late September 2019 only one hide was accessible, the rest were closed off due to construction work and the place was deserted, with no staff around. We saw a few common waders during our visit one afternoon.

It is such an important station for migratory birds. We have not seen too many birds, since January is not the season for migration, but we still enjoyed the tranquility of the place, took a nice stroll around and read the information that are displayed all over the place. I am looking forward to returning during migration season.

The entrance is free, and the place itself is tranquil, as it should be. You can see many locals going for a silent job in the morning, enjoying the view and the singing of birds that come to eat, or simply living here. It is not common to have a guided tour, but it will be worth it if you manage to book one. Also, you should bring or rent a binocular.
Tegra Morgan — Google review
Internationally important. Hundreds of millions of birds visit the center in spring and autumn. Here they find resources to continue their migration. Come when the center is most active and come in the early morning to see the most. (This is no zoo; everything is wild and free.)

Very interesting and educational. They said it was the second largest bird sanctuary in the world . I was given a free lecture and tour around the sanctuary. I had an enjoyable couple of hours there.
The Eilat City Museum is a fascinating destination that showcases the development of the city over the years. The museum offers an hour or so of interesting exhibits and a film, making it a great place to visit with children. While the art gallery is currently under renovation, visitors can still enjoy lovely pictures and rock samples on display. The museum is well laid out and stays open until 21:45, providing ample time for exploration at a very low price.
Small, nice. Very interesting to see how this city was developed during this years. One hour, may be one a half 😊 + film. Art gallery is closed for renovations. Good place to visit with children. Recommend it, almost free (very low price)

Quite informative and succinct for a museum of a small town that Eilat is. Good opening hours until 9pm. Quite a lot of the exhibits (but not only!) are historical photos, however, that does not make the museum dull - quite the opposite.
