Eilat: Surf Center - Windsurfing
Eilat has served as Israel’s Red Sea port in the southern Negev since the 1950s. The city stands at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, a narrow arm of the Red Sea bordered by Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Its waterfront combines beaches, marinas and water-sports facilities, while the Eilat Mountains rise beyond the urban strip. South of town, the Coral Beach Nature Reserve protects a coral reef. Eilat’s position at Israel’s only Red Sea outlet has shaped it as both a working port and a resort city, with diving, sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing integral to its coastal character.

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.

South District has served as Israel’s southern frontier since 1948. Covering much of the Negev, it extends from the Mediterranean coast near Ashkelon across dry uplands and the Beer Sheva basin towards the Arava and the Red Sea at Eilat. Its terrain includes the Makhtesh Ramon erosion crater, while the Dead Sea forms part of its eastern boundary. Beer Sheva, widely regarded as the Negev’s principal city, lies near Tel Be’er Sheva, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed biblical tell. Bedouin communities remain an important part of the Negev’s social fabric. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Israel’s South District.

Among the countries of the eastern Mediterranean, Israel stands out for its compact geography, where a Mediterranean coast, the Jordan Valley and the Negev Desert lie within a relatively small area. Jerusalem’s Old City contains places sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, including the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. To the north, the Sea of Galilee is a freshwater lake associated with Christian tradition; southward, the Dead Sea marks the country’s lowest-lying region. Tel Aviv brings a contrasting modern urban pace, with its UNESCO-listed White City ensemble of early modernist architecture. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Israel.
