The Red Sea Jazz Festival

Eilat travel guide

This year, the Red Sea Jazz Festival returns to the wonderful port of Eilat – the festival’s classic location under the stars – with performances and original productions by some of the best leading artists today.
The International Jazz Festival is back after two years of great anticipation!

Red Sea Jazz Festival – returns to Eilat port!
with dozens of artists from Israel and the world
November 12 – 10, Eilat port

Maestro Yossi Payne, the music man and artistic director of the festival, curated and connected artists from here and there for three days with 18 (!) performances that you won’t want to miss, and so that you don’t miss a single show – this year you can purchase a PASS and enjoy all the shows.

Along with well-known and beloved names that are always wonderful to meet again at the festival, this year you will meet quite a few young and up-and-coming artists who preserve and refresh the Israeli and global jazz scene.
In the 36th edition of the festival, we are proud to announce the opening show of the Israeli super-group THIRD WORLD LOVE, in a one-time reunion show exclusive to the festival. After almost a decade of absence from the stage – Yonatan Avishai, Avishai Cohen, Omer Avital and Daniel Friedman return to play together in the port of Eilat. Another artist who will land and come straight to the festival is Jacob Collier from London who comes to us in his prime and in the middle of a world tour with 4 albums and 5 Grammy Awards. Grammy winner (3 to be exact) this time from the USA, Corey Henry will come up and perform with the famous keyboards, in a trio show that combines jazz with soul. In an original production for the festival, Gidi Gov will host Alon Olarchik, with non-standard performances of the hits we all love.

And close the festival with a final show conceived by Maestro Fine combining musicians from all his favorite genres – a super group that will form for the first time on the festival stage. Conducted by Neta Barzilai, Nono, Eko and Cohen will be guests for a cross-genre celebration of jazz with hip-hop and spoken word.

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

Eilat Beaches - Swim & Tan in Eilat

The beautiful, vibrant beaches scattered along the Red Sea coastline, run from the north edge of Eilat Bay, near the Jordanian border, down to south beach near the Egyptian border. The beaches are localized in two major areas - the North Beach, where the main hotel area is located, and the Coral Beach, further south of Eilat. The first is perfect for the more easygoing swimmers, sunbathers and water sport worshipers, whereas the latter serves as the main arena for scuba diving and snorkeling. Dotted with palm trees, straw parasols and lively bars playing music, most of Eilat's beaches offer vivacious, tropical atmosphere during the day and incredibly romantic feel at night. At the beach, you are likely to see sunbathers from all over the world lying on beach beds just a few steps from the water. Others are busy dining at one of the nearby snack bars, playing "Matkot" (Israeli beach tennis) or simply relax in front of the fascinating vista. After a long day at the beach (remember to wear sunscreen!) it is time to get ready for the perfect finale - Eilat's sunset. When the sun goes down beyond the hills of the city, just sit back and gaze at the gorgeous mountains of Aqaba across the sea, while they become amazingly red. Finally, as the night falls over the city, you can join the festivity at one of the beaches, which transformed into bustling locations for dancing parties and pubs. Those of you seeking for romanticism or maybe camping in a tent, where the beaches are less busy. Lying on the pebbles and the cool sand, listening to the whisper of the waves as they break into the shore, and staring at the moonlight gorgeously reflected on the water, is truly a remarkable experience.
