if you go googling look for EILAT or you get nothing :-)



They have lots of buses leaving each day for Eilat. I cannot believe it
is any different today than when I was there (in more peaceful times). I
seem to remember leaving from a central bus station, midway between Tel
Aviv and Jerusalem - sorry my memory is at a loss to be more specific, it
was a 8 hour journey, arriving in Eilat at 5am in the morning. Lots of military
types going to Eilat for a couple of days when I went, if that is any
consolation.

I took a plane out of Eilat, actually the airport is a military airfield a
45minute bus ride out of Eilat. They take security seriously there, had a
search and an interview with a military type before being allowed to go to
the boarding area.

Eilat was interesting (bit tacky), to be honest, wish I had spent more time
around Galilee and Jerusalem.
