EILAT
The town of Eilat lies on the northernmost tip of the Gulf of Eilat, where the coastlines of Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia meet. It is Israel's southernmost city, and her only port on the Red Sea.
The modern town of Eilat was established in 1951 at the site of Um-RashRash, a police station that was built during the British Mandate. Its capture in March 1949 by the Negev and Golani brigades was the last act of Israel's war of Independence.
But Eilat, like many cities in Israel, has a much longer history than this. The name Eilat is first mentioned as one of the places where the Children of Israel passed after leaving Egypt. King Solomon built a large fleet at Etzion-Geber, near where modern Eilat stands.
Today, with a population of around 25,000, Eilat has a busy port, and a pipeline terminal that pumps oil to the rest of Israel. But its main claim to fame is tourism. Its year round warm weather, beaches, and wide range of hotels and restaurants, ensure that it is a popular tourist resort, both for locals, and tourists from overseas.
In this general view of Eilat we can see many of the things that make her so famous: the incredible deep blue of the (badly named) Red Sea, the many pleasure craft floating on the water, the hotels on the beachfront. In the distance, with the dramatic backdrop of the Mountains of Edom, lies the Jordanian city of Aqaba.
