Eilat is a beach town in Israel, located on the Red Sea coast that’s all about having fun in the sun. The city offers an amazing beach experience and is one of the best areas to scuba dive in the world. If you’re thinking about visiting it, here’s what you need to know.
No Passport Stamp
You may or may not know this, but some countries won’t let in people with an Israeli stamp in their passport. These countries include Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. The border officials will not stamp your passport when you enter Israel because of this, but they will give you an entry visa on a separate piece of paper that you need to keep while you’re in the country.
Safe and Easy to Explore
Eilat is a safe city that’s easy to get around. Most of the sites and activities are located along the King Solomon Promenade, which will likely be very close to where you’re staying. You can also get around by taxi or Gett, an Israeli company that’s equivalent to Uber.
Amazing Shopping Experience
Eilat offers shopping at the best prices in all Israel due to being a VAT-free place. Everything is 17% cheaper than anywhere else in the country. Don’t forget to get some salt scrubs from the Dead Sea and get some Israeli wine for your friends back home.
