Eilat - Some Like It Hot...(and some don't...)Eilat or Elat - same thing - is mostly about fun in the sun.The city is located at the most southern point of Israel. And it is hot. Very hot. And dry too. But once you get use to the heat, takes about half a day, Eilat is as good as any Caribbean island or better. Hands down the city has the B-E-S-T resorts in Israel. There are many hotels, restaurants, developed beaches with plenty of scuba and skin diving, an amazing coral reserve and much more. 
Hotels and a beach in Eilat the Israelis tend to come during the summer. And in the winter a lot of Europeans arrive. Eilat has some of the best diving spots in the world!!! Even if you are not into diving or scuba – like me for example – I still think it is a very good idea to check out the coral reserve.
The coral reef beach. By Or Hiltch. The amazing and colorful variety of fish and other marine life is truly unique to say the least. Try snorkeling to begin if you never scuba before. Check out this short video about the city: Another great option is to visit the underwater observatory. You will see the same amazing marine life without getting wet. There are also glass bottom boats and other boats that travel the bay. Best to inquire at the
hotel.
