Eilat is located at the most southerly point in Israel where the rugged Negev Desert meets the brilliant blue waters of the Red Sea.
Warm winter sunshine, a temperature hardly ever dropping below 70 degrees fahrenheit, fine beaches and a colourful coral reef, make Eilat the perfect winter sun destination for sun-seekers, water sports enthusiasts and divers.
It's great for families too. Israel is very child-friendly and several of the hotels in Eilat offer kids clubs, children's facilities and entertainment.
