Weather Forecast | Weather Maps | Weather Radar | Hurricane Center

Eilat is Israel's and the Middle East's Riviera paradise in the sun where it hardly ever rains and the sun shines nearly 365 days a year. Winter temperatures are around 20 -30 degrees centigrade and Summer temperatures a glorious 40+ degrees. This is a dry heat with no humidity and usually a strong North breeze, so it is less unpleasant than the Mediterranean in the summer. Flight time from the UK is only 4.5-5 hours.

Eilat is the Northern most region in the World where coral grows. This means that it is the nearest place to Europe where the diving is amazing, with crystal clear waters and beautiful coral reefs. Winter water temperature are 21 degrees centigrade and Summer is 27-30 degrees centigrade. So diving is an all year round possibility. The Red Sea, here in Eilat, is the safest environment to learn to dive. All the dive sites are accessed directly from the shore. There are no strong currents or underwater hazards.

Eilat has many hotels or youth hostels to choose from. Anything from 5 star luxury to your basic youth hostel is available to suit any budget.

Eilat is very safe place indeed and nowhere near the problem areas in the North of Israel. I have lived here for 10 wonderful years and have 3 children all born in Eilat.
