Whether it is above water as a swimmer, wind surfer, water-skier or sailor or under-water as a diver or snorkeller, Eilat’s sporting life is dominated by the presence of the wonderful coral lined crystal waters of the Red Sea Gulf.
Plunge into a new reality and discover the magic of Eilat’s underwater life. Eilat’s coral reefs, famous for their rich variety and striking beauty attract both experienced diving professionals and the novice. Equipment and facilities are available at many beaches with great activities for all ages and all levels.
Rise above it all and try one of the many sky sports Eilat has to offer. Parasailing, a hybrid of sailing and parachuting, is the choice for you if a smooth glide over the sea is what you have in mind. Experience this effortless yet unforgettable sport and get a bird’s eye view of the gulf. The Airudium, a vertical wind tunnel is the closest you will ever get to flying. Suitable for practically everyone, all you need to get started is 30 minutes of pre-training and a flying suit. If you are seeking the ultimate thrill then Skydiving is the answer. Start with a 45 second free fall from 12000 feet. Once the parachute opens, relax and enjoy the ride and breathtaking views of Eilat, Jordan, Sinai, and the surrounding areas. Definitely not advisable for the faint hearted.
Interested in combining exercise and touring? How about experiencing Eilat’s unique desert landscape and nature life? You are guaranteed an unforgettable experience. Jeep tours of the desert hills are a great way to sample this magnificent and unique terrain. 4WD scooters are an adventurous choice of exploring the desert. You can also spend the day combining hiking treks and camel riding through the desert.
Eilat’s night scene keeps on the spirit of the lively, unrestrained fun that dominates the beaches, and practically anywhere else during the day. It seems as if the sunbathers stay on the beach until the sun goes down, and then after a good meal head straight to the bars and discos. Most of the nightlife spots are located around the North Beach area, along the hotels’ promenade though some can be found in the town centre. Beside the pubs and the nightclubs, the Eilat beaches serve as a lively location for open air bars and parties weather permitting. Many of the hotels provide entertainment at night for their guests, and Eilat certainly has plenty of night activities for all age groups.
