About Eilat

Known for snorkelling and diving, Coral Beach Nature Reserve has buoy-marked underwater trails among fish-filled reefs. Nearby Coral World Underwater Observatory Marine Park has a glass-enclosed observation centre submerged offshore. Eilat has a hot desert climate with hot, dry summers and warm and almost rainless winters. Eilat offers a wide range of accommodations, from hostels and luxury hotels to Bedouin hospitality. These are some of the tourist attractions: International Birding & Research Center, Camel tours, Coral Beach Nature Reserve, an underwater marine reserve of tropical marine flora and fauna, Dolphin Reef, Freefall parachuting, Yotvata Hai-Bar Nature Reserve, IMAX, Kings City, Marina, and Timna Valley Park.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Eilat

Up until 1949, Eilat was little more than a small Turkish police station called Um-Rashrash. The ancient site of Eilat with remains from the Nabatean, Roman, Byzantine, and medieval periods has been located north of present day Aqaba. On March 13, 1949, Israeli forces occupied Eilat in the "Operation Uvdah" ("Established Fact"), in the last military move in the War of Independence. Since Israeli independence and the opening of the Straits of Tiran in the 1956 Sinai War, the town has gradually grown into the major resort it is today. Eilat is the most southern of Israel’s cities and is well known as a holiday resort and port on the Red Sea. Eilat is currently home to approximately 46,600 residences. Religious life in Eilat is wide and varied with a Masorti (Conservative) synagogue called Tagel Arava, and a wide choice of Orthodox options including Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Edot Hamizrach and Chabad. The current chief rabbis of Eilat are Rabbi Hadaya (Sephardi) and Rabbi Hecht, formally of NY (Ashkenazi).

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.

Please note - *JOFY does NOT mean that KOSHER food is served on the premises!
