Eilat Travel Blogs

On line at the border to go into Israel, I adjusted my backpack several times, at time putting it on the floor sitting on it, then at times hoisting it back over my shoulder. On my back, on the floor, on my back, on the floor...Several tourists, part of a tour group kept elbowing past me to get to …

Eilat is Israel's southernmost city, a busy port as well as a popular tourist destination, located at the northern tip of the Red Sea, on the Gulf of Eilat.

I really wish we had more time to spend in Eilat, as I have heard that it's a beautiful city, but unfortunately we only headed there to cross the border to enter Jordan.  We took a bus at midnight (of all times!) and did our best to enjoy the Israeli desert scenery in the middle of the night a…

High point was the interperative center at Makhtesh Ramon. Stopped there to take a proper look at the giant crater in the earth. Good…

Eilat, located at the southern tip of Israel, reminds me alot of Jersey shore towns and Atlantic city (without the gambling). its a beach touristy town with expensive 5 star hotels (we rented a somewhat cheap room from a local), a boardwalk filled with venders selling cheap products, and teenagers …

people say there was a war there.. i haven't noticed.

Today has been the hottest day so far, it was over 100 degrees in the desert. We stopped at Timna National Park which was an ancient Egyptian copper mine. There were hundreds of tunnels dug by the Egyptians to mine the copper. From there, we headed to Eilat which is on the Red Sea. Took a tour of …

The blog I wrote during my last holiday in Israel in May-June 2007. Planning to go down again in October :)

My first time swimming with dolphins was an indescribable experience. I've never felt so relaxed, so relieved. It was an experience i'll never forget.
