The first surfboard was brought to Israel by a Californian doctor in the 1950’s. Now, over fifty years on, Israelis have developed into a country of surfers, and as soon as the waves get good, the beaches become dotted with surfers of all abilities.

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

Eilat is hot…and then there’s the weather. Israel’s window onto the Red Sea is far more than a holiday resort. With world-class diving, and a pretty good nightlife it makes a great vacation in itself. The city is right on the edge of the Negev desert which is waiting to be explored, as are Petra in Jordan and Sinai in Egypt which can be seen in a day.
