Eilat
Eilat is situated on the tip of Israel’s southern coast in the desert between Egypt
and Jordan. The city is very modern with little historic interest apart from its
dramatic and rapid growth from a small desert village, mainly because of Israel’s
fear that Egypt and Jordan might try to close access to the Red Sea.
The city has a ‘tourist resort’ feel to it, offering large glitzy hotels with private
beaches and water-sports. It also offers an array of different restaurants, cafes,
bars, clubs and shops. It’s very popular place for a stop-over for travelers arriving
from or leaving to neighboring countries.
