Eilat – tourist paradise

Entering Eilat we felt as if we were driving in Las Vegas. All the hotels seemed to be built in a similar style. In the city we could find many stalls, where we bought beautiful souvenirs, cosmetics from the Dead Sea and local delicacies. Walking on the promenade, we were getting past a lot of international shops, local bazaars and great restaurants. Going on, behind the promenade we saw a campsite and then we reached the border with Jordan. Unfortunately the gateway was closed, so we have just seen a big fence.

Afterwards we went to the beach. Everyone was shocked by the fantastic view. It looked like the Bahamas or another luxurious place for holidays. The beach made a big impression on us, because there were many palm trees and the water was very clean.

But it wasn’t a perfect place, because the sand was like gravel, so we didn’t like it.

Water was warm enough to swim, so almost everyone was bathing and having fun.

We spent most of the day on the beach and did the shopping in the meantime.

Getting a tan all day long would be boring, so we went to a pleasure cruise. During the passage we saw lovely dolphins. It was a great experience. Then we sailed to the center of the Gulf of Aqaba to swim. By the way we had a beautiful views of Eilat and surrounding areas. The ship was equipped with a large slide and rafts. Everyone could get life vests, so it was safe. People were admiring underwater sights and even jumped into the water from upper deck. On the cruise liner loud music was played, so a lot of people were dancing. It was so hot, but we could chill with cold drinks. It was a great adventure and we are grateful to have taken part in.

Who we are and what we do:

A living bridge Haifa-Dzierżoniów We are closer to each other than it may seem. We are pupils from Israel and Poland, from a small city in Lower Silesia, Dzierżoniów, and the third largest city of Israel, Haifa. We are all 16 to 18 years old. And after having met in Israel, we will meet in Poland in one month time. Looking into Jezreel Valley. Sara Har Wardi, introducing us to her Kibbutz. At Hebrew Reali School in Haifa.
