About Eilat
Eilat is Israel's Red Sea resort, a desert city on the Gulf of Aqaba with coral reefs, red granite mountains and sunshine almost all year.
Eilat sits at the southern tip of Israel, at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, where desert mountains of red granite drop to the Red Sea. Across the water lie the Jordanian port of Aqaba and the coast of Egypt. The city was founded in 1949 and grew from a port into a resort of hotels, a lagoon-side promenade and a long beachfront.
