Eilat rides a wave of attractions

Yigal Zur traveled to the southernmost city without the kids, and ended up wondering why so many people prefer Turkey

EILAT - Located in Israel's southernmost tip on the coast of the Red Sea, the city of Eilat is continually reinventing itself. With 46 hotels and an abundance of bars and restaurants, the battle for the vacationer's pocket produced a burst of attractions and leisure activities.
I admit to being one of those people who usually passes through Eilat on their way to the Sinai desert; but after the fabulous weekend I spent there, I wondered why so many Israelis prefer Turkey as their holiday destination.
My wife and I arrived in Eilat without the kids, and decided to make good use of this rare freedom and explore as many attractions and activities as possible. We were 20-something again, and on our way to the IMAX Theater .
