THE SUN-DRENCHED PARADISE RESORT
|
|
Eilat, on the southernmost tip of Israel, bursts upon the senses with very little warning. One minute you are traversing the southern Negev Highlands and Arava Desert, with their red, grey, yellow and white rocks and mountains, and the next minute you are at the Gulf of Eilat on the shores of the Red Sea. This is where the Queen of Sheba arrived on her historic visit to King Solomon, and this is where sun-worshippers, diving enthusiasts, and desert aficionados now find a special lure.

Eilat offers you a total car-free vacation. You can be forgiven if you forget the outside world when you are in Eilat. Take a cruise around the bay. Learn to snorkel and scuba dive in some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world. Try your hand (and feet) at water-skiing, or paragliding, or speed-boating. Visit the underwater observatory with its fascinating insight into the marine kingdom. Descend to the ocean depths in a special submarine.
