Best Time To Visit

Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Eilat is between November and March, when the weather is pleasantly warm, ranging from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for outdoor activities and beach time. This period is less crowded than the peak summer months, offering a more relaxed experience and better accommodation rates. During these cooler months, you can enjoy Eilat's unique attractions, such as snorkelling in the Coral Beach Nature Reserve and exploring the stunning underwater observatory. In addition, Eilat’s winter season hosts exciting events like the Eilat Chamber Music Festival and the annual Eilat Jazz Festival. The mild winter weather also makes it a perfect time to take day trips to the nearby desert landscapes or visit the striking Red Canyon without the oppressive heat of summer.

Passport/Visa

Passport/Visa

To visit Israel, your passport should be valid for at least the duration of your stay. While Israel recommends six months of validity, it's no longer a strict requirement as long as your passport remains valid during your visit. Most visitors from countries with visa exemption agreements, including the EU, USA, Canada, and Australia, can enter Israel for up to 90 days without a visa. However, as of August 2024, an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL) must be obtained online at least 72 hours before travel. For those from non-exempt countries, a visa is required in advance. In addition, Israel issues an entry card instead of stamping passports, which helps avoid complications when travelling to certain Arab or Muslim countries. Carry your passport if you plan to visit Palestinian territories, as it may be required at checkpoints.
