The city of Eilat is a great choice as a dive holiday destination. The Red Sea is a narrow and elongated stretch of blue water, bordered by mountains with an average height of 1,000 – 1,500 meters, with peaks over 2,500 meters above sea level.
The coast of the Red Sea is bordered by coral formations with more than 1,200 species of fish and more than 250 species of corals. The desert climate of the area provides a long summer with many sunny days needed by the corals to maintain themselves.
At Eilat, you can find world-class diving. The local nature reserve hosts a reef of more than 1,200 meters long. It is the northernmost point of the world where corals can be found. Divers from all over the world arrive in Eilat to view its wonderful underwater wonders.
Diving is very popular in this region, with more than 10 dive centers at Eilat and over 20 different dive sites, almost all of which are accessed from shore. Eilat is very often used as a home base for divers traveling to the city of Aqaba in Jordan, or the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, but you will find no safer and more diver-friendly dive destination all around the world!
