Eilat, Israel’s southern-most city, is a vacation destination for Israelis and tourists alike. There are flights available from Ben-Gurion, but it is a beautiful 5 or 6-hour drive. Israel Rental Cars by can get you to Eilat in the comfort of your own hired car, so you can take your time getting there and look at the country as you go.

Known for its stunning beaches and year-round sunshine, Eilat is hot and dry. In the summer, even Israelis will go to the hotter southern city to escape the humidity in the central and northern parts of the country. Surrounded by desert yet on the sea, Eilat is an amazing place to visit. Although Eilat is known for its heat, the Red Sea is colder than the Mediterranean and is a refreshing place to swim.

Eilat also offers the opportunity for undersea adventures. It is known as one of the best diving spots in the world. There are many places that offer courses in scuba-diving to allow you to see things from a totally different point of view. The Red Sea has a huge variety of beautiful coral, and there is no better way to see it than scuba-diving. If scuba is not for you, there is also an Underwater Observatory that allows you to see all of the sea life without having to take or course or even get wet.

For those of you who like hiking in the desert, the high desert mountains that surround the city are fantastic and beautiful.

Our Eilat Car Rental Station is at the Shalom Plaza Hotel.
