A four day international jazz festival with 8 to 9 concerts per evening, 6 clinics with guest artists and nightly Jam sessions, the Red Sea Jazz Festival showcases a broad spectrum of jazz music from New Orleans jazz to the contemporary, including Latin and World music, bringing groups from across Israel and the world to Eilat. In 2011, the Red Sea Jazz Festival will be taking place between 21-24 August.

Once a tiny kibbutz on Israel’s southernmost shore, today Eilat – with its dramatic red mountains and blue sea – is a major tourist draw. Now more tourism projects are planned in the city known as Israel’s ‘window onto the Red Sea’. Eilat is a city based around tourism, with fun activities for everyone. Whether you just want to spend your time sunbathing on Eilat’s mountain-framed beaches, diving in clear blue waters, hiking or biking nature trails, splashing with dolphins or marveling at the coral reef, you can do it in Eilat! And, the city sees less than ten days of rain a year. That’s terrible for farmers but great for tourists!

Don’t ever travel business-class to Israel, for a start. Yes, you’ll feel like the Big I Am. But you just won’t get the sheer oomph! of what Israel is. The crop-topped teenage girls blowing bubblegum next to prayer-shawled Haredim. The soft-hearted gangsters holding the toilet doors open for the cold-eyed grandmas. The Russian blondes and the Mizrahi brunettes. All of them — gorgeously — Israel…

Eilat has a huge range of activities if you want to be kept active, or just relax!
