Eilat Holidays - Travel Guide

Eilat holidays in southern Israel, are perfect for relaxing in the sun on lovely sandy beaches and enjoying the warm azure waters of the Red Sea. Eilat holidays are popular with scuba divers because of the impressive coral reefs and exotic marine life in the water, and there are good facilities in place for novice divers to learn.

There are glass-bottomed boats and minisub rides for anyone that wants to enjoy the underwater delights without getting their feet wet, which include all sorts of tropical fish and even dolphins.

The lively nightlife of Eilat holidays starts at the beachfront bars and restaurants and continues along the north beach area, persisting throughout the evening and well into the night. Beyond the obvious appeal of simply relaxing on the beach, the daytime activities on an Eilat holiday include camel treks into the desert where you can visit Bedouin settlements, or viewing the ruined Byzantine cities in the Negev desert region.

At the Bedouin markets pick up some local art and craftwork such as rugs or ceramics to take home and remind you of your amazing Eilat holiday.

Eilat holidays attract many visitors simply to take advantage of the superb diving facilities. As the sun goes down the resorts come alive with a variety of bars and nightclubs, particularly along North Beach. On North Beach you can also find a whole host of restaurants providing everything from Middle Eastern influenced cuisines, such as falafel, pitta bread and tasty salads, to a wide variety of international dishes.

Eilat holiday souvenirs can include things like copper and brassware goods. Ornaments and coffee pots are good value for money, especially after a little bartering, which is all part of the fun of Eilat holidays.
