One of the major attractions of Eilat is diving in the Red Sea, in an inlet from the sea called the Gulf of Eilat or the Aqaba. It is one of the most spectacular underwater preserves in the world. If you ask travelers, water sports in Eilat are the most popular recreation activities. The Aqaba leads you to some brightly colored coral and fish and here you may also obtain a glimpse of everything from a poisonous lionfish to a moray eel to a shark to a manta ray fish. If you are not a diver, even then you can enjoy the splendid coral reef from the surface with a snorkel and a mask. You can also go for a glass bottom ride although here, you do not see nearly as much. If you want a unique view, water sports in Eilat provide you with the opportunity of taking an underwater safari in a submarine – and a real one at that – which accommodates 50 people and takes you 200 feet below the surface of the Red Sea. If you are a landlubber, the Coral Underwater Observatory enables you to enjoy the wonders of the sea and marine life, as if it were an aquarium. It is one of the only four in the world that provides visitors with a kaleidoscopic view of the reef and sea life 15 feet underwater. The Dolphin Reef is a place where you can swim and dive with the dolphins. Water sports in Eilat, on the Red Sea, makes you discover an altogether new facet of Israel – one that is given to fun and relaxation. Eilat offers anyways a new combination of perennial sunshine, fine sandy beaches, warm and clear water, desert scenery, modern hotels and ample options for water sports. The active holiday visitor is provided options in water sports in Eilat like: water skiing, speed and sail boats that coast along the Israeli/Jordanian/Egyptian maritime borders, and wind and water surfing.
