Eilat Desert Adventures

Eilat travel guide

Situated between the southern edge of the Negev Desert and the beginning of the Sinai Peninsula (and yet only 7 hours drive from the green Galilee at the north part of Israel), Eilat offers a great desert experience lapped in a Bedouin-like scene.

The desert adventures available in Eilat vary from private and organized hiking, to wild jeep tours and exciting camel treks, all touring around the Eilat region. The colorful multilayered mountains and the natural beauty of the desert make it highly exhilarating traveling to fascinating sites, such as King Solomon’s Pillars, Timna Valley Park, the Red Canyon, Ein Netafim and Pillars of Amram.

Eilat Water Sport Activities

Eilat is a water-sport playground, where you can choose your favored activity out of a wide range of attractions available in most of the beaches. You can hire a Jet Ski or a motorboat, take a Banana ride (an inflated balloon, which pulled by a speedboat and ridden by 5 to 8 people) or go for a slow rowing on a pedal boat. Other water-sport activities include water-skiing, windsurfing and para-sailing (a parachute attached to a speedboat), with which you can “takeoff” high above the water and view over the magnificent surroundings. http://www.inisrael.com/tour/eilat/things_to_do.htm
