Eilat

Tucked along the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba, Eilat is a place whose character is shaped by the meeting of the Negev Desert and the Red Sea. Israel’s southernmost city is backed by the rugged Eilat Mountains, while Jordan’s mountains rise across the water. Coral Beach Nature Reserve protects part of the gulf’s fringing reef, bringing marine life unusually close to shore. Eilat Port gives Israel its outlet to Red Sea trade routes, and the city is also a major stopover for migratory birds travelling between Europe, Asia and Africa.
