The 19 best parks and gardens in Eilat

Would spend there all day. An established place, but it keeps renovating all the time. The shark aquarium is so relaxing and exiting at the same time! The underwater observatory facility is a must. Note- a single ticket is good for a couple of days, so if you want to visit more than once (and you should) plan accordingly.

What a great chance to sit and watch fish for hours! Between the underwater observatory and the aquarium we were really pleased with the experience. Go early for quieter viewing without crowds. There was plenty of parking when they first opened.

A real fun place for kids, but also for the sea animal lovers. We had a guided tour and it was perfect and well explained. I enjoyed every bit of it. I would have enjoyed more if the glasses were a bit cleaner. Nevertheless, it was fun. PS: The 3D movie was cherry on the top

Wonderful. From walking through the lively coral reef to the 3D cinema which is unlike any other I have witnessed. The screen goes above the head so that it can be protected from any point in the room and looks like the whole is above you. This place is a must see for young and old. It is a beautifully maintained park, with a big variety of coral. The underwater observatory is absolutely amazing. The water of the red see is also accommodating the coral beautifully. The aqua dome is also an experience like none other. The whole is turned into a 3D video and it literally feels like you are under the ocean and touching the sea life yourself. Great place to visit, both educational and fun. its really impressive to see all the unique creatures that live in the ocean. dedicate at least several hours to the visit.

This place gets it! It's all about the service and people. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Very clean place. Food was good and fair priced. The exhibits were all well maintained. Especially with children, this is a very nice all day activity.

This was what exactly close to what the Israelites must of saw as they crossed the gulf! Beautiful! God is delivering Israel still! I pray for revival among the Lords people!

For a Two-Two and a half hours of attraction you will find with the kids lots of wonderful creatures. Sharks,stingray, different kinds of fish, you can add a short 3d movie to watch for an half a hour. The kids loved it and we are sure to come again

Beautiful desert park, 20 minutes drive from Eilat. Mainly car trails with sightseeing or trekking stops, historic sites, an artificial lake, a restaurant and activities for the kids. Accessible in extreme heat or pleasant weather alike. A lot of the park is wheelchair accessible.

Amazing landscape, many things to see and trails to hike. Very well kept park. But be ware that you need to manage your own food (have with you there). Many places around close early, especially on Friday.

World oldest copper mine, in the middle of the desert. Plentiful to see, from natural wonders, rock formations, natural arches, to historical sights, such as rock carving, Egyptian temple of Athor and Egyptian underground mines, some of which you can enter and crawl in. You must come by car, there is no public transportation inside the park, but there is a well defined, well kept and made cycling route. The fee covers you for 7 days of entries, and you get a dial in code to enter the park anytime, even during tourist center closing. Do not miss the visit center, spend at keaat 40mns there, the exhibitions are well worth it, and check with the Ranger on site for guidance based on your interests and stamina. Haza was in charge that day, and outstanding guide. Thanks to his pointers we could define a trip easy for our 7 years old, with a lot of small exciting climbs and go to a massive sand dune. Near the lake / restaurant, , there is a coloured sand bottle filling station, great gifts to all visitors. From all around you have wonderful views on Israel, and over the border toward "Palestine" (aka Jordan) Do not forget, this is the desert, closed shoes are mandatory, and bring water, the only refilling station is at the very end, at the lake.

The visit made sence, in a weird way. You think you have seen the mountains, and the park seems like a boring extend to the same mountains, but its not! Friendly people, visualization of the ancient story of the place, and much more makes it worth the visit. Much of the park is accessible by car, which makes it possible to visit, even on the hottest days. There is animals if you look in the shade of the lonely trees. I recommend it!☺️

A fantastic experience! our guide, Shay Cohen, was very engaging, and the scenery was breathtaking. Don't miss out on the guided tour by lantern light!

It’s a breathtaking place, a must-have for hiking lovers. Plenty trails at different length and difficulties, it gives a good variety selection. A choice for bike rental is also a good addition if you would like to boost the experience.

The place is beautiful, there's quite a few things to see and visit and we did a few small easy hikes that were also great with little kids. Can't wait to come back and see more

The place is amazing you can dive with dolphin and see the hidden treasure of the sea and there a beach with nice water there is lots of people it's hard to say it with words how good that place is but there's always downfall like I saw a kid trowed a fish into the bin and there was an ice cream I went to take my wallet but the ice cream was gone

Pretty good beach but bit of a scam because it says on the website that you can swim with the dolphins but actually you can just put your feet in and not actually swim but it was a pretty beach nonetheless

Excellent spot to come in the morning and spend all day here. Really enjoyed it! The dolphins can be a quest to see but with some patience and luck- you will!

Suchhh a beautifull place to watch dolphinsss, the dolphins are free to wander in the ocean which beautifully symbolized how free they are and just how they love their care takers enough to come back all the time to hang around us! Beuaitufl resort right next to a very aesthethic looking wooden structure with a sight and a bar and places to sit every where on, on the wooden water floating structure u also get great and beautiful ocean views and can see the dolphins in the big circle! Before the wooden structures there's of course a beach u can chill in and just wander around shops and soveniers 💕✨

Very beautiful tourist attraction! We saw 3 dolphins here! It’s about a luck to see them comming from the open sea! Student discount on the entry. Very delicious food in restaurant!

I have very mixed feelings about this place. We do end up here every time we come to Eilat and I like that the dolphins are free to come and go as they please BUT it’s very expensive and crowded. You just catch short glimpses of the dolphins (true it’s because they aren’t penned in which is a good thing). All of the activities cost extra and the prices are extremely high. I dunno, it’s only a so/so experience. We’ve had a much better time at some of the free beaches. The food is typical beach food with typical beach prices although I will say the Greek salad I had for lunch was quite tasty. I guess I would say, this doesn’t need to go on your Must Do list but if you’re out of activities and you need a few hours to kill, this isn’t terrible.

Very nice beach that combines everything. The price a bit high for family but its worth it if you didn't visit there. The food in the restaurant is great and the service is good. The relaxing place inside requires extra price and very expensive I should mention.. The dolphins are amazing and there is explanation in Hebrew and English. Most of the place is shaded and even if it full there's enough chairs and place for everyone:)

Beautiful beach. Very clean. Tidy + with all facilities to enjoy the amazing Red Sea. It is considered a national park. Not for nothing. Once you enter the water, you can swim with some of the most exotic fish +. Once you put your head into the water you see the Wonder of nature underwater. It is very friendly for kids and for families and we could find ourselves spending the whole day from morning till night over there

Although its one of the best places to see corals and fish in Eilat. The site could be a bit more developed. There are not many showers and only one dock to enter the water and relatively small place for swimming. With limited hours of operation and mediocre services this beautiful natural reserve should get an upgrade and the site could invest some of the entrance fee in improvments.

One of the good beaches in Eilat Clean, had toilet, shop, walk route, bridge directly to Red see with excitement view of corals, different fish types It's needed some payment, check possible options before coming there It's better come with your own equipment Pay attention - NO SAFE GUARDS

Our preferred place in Eilat! Every time we are in Eilat we go to this place, the best still and ever. Actually we were there every day, not a problem as we slept at the Yam Suf Hotel, only a 5 minute walk to there. 1. the beach is incredibly looked after 2. The Reserve guards are watching all the time for trespassers so very little chance something bad could happen to you while swimming 3. and of course the corals and the fish. Yes the coral are less beautiful than in the previous years, the mini tsunami a few years ago did damage the reef, but still they are interesting and the fish are till there and still super beautiful. Don't "FOMO" it, would you?

Kids loved it. Easy snorkeling, lots of colourful fish! Bring your own snorkel to save a little money.

Great place. Amazing biodiversity, the beach is nice and convenient. The corals are very close, and you can almost touch them (but you shouldn't). If you don't swim it is still nice to look on the fish and corals from the pier. There are lockers with USB charging stations, and the place is very relaxing.

We had a lovely day out here. It was February, so out of season and not too busy. Lots of beautiful sea life up close in enormous tanks. Also, a very nice undersea viewing room and a sub trip if you want. Loads of facilities and other interesting things to see..... Lovely and we'll worth a visit 😀

Ice Mall is a large shopping and entertainment center, conveniently located within walking distance of most central hotels in Eilat, with parking nearby. Inside you’ll find a huge variety of shops – fashion, perfumes, electronics – along with plenty of food options and activities. It can get very crowded, which sometimes makes the atmosphere feel overwhelming, especially for parents who worry about keeping an eye on their kids. On the fun side, there are lots of games and activities for children (most for an extra fee). The ice-skating rink is the highlight – very enjoyable for kids and adults alike. Even toddlers can join with special seats designed for them, which makes the experience inclusive and fun for the whole family. * Pros: Central location, wide variety of shops, many kids’ activities, fun ice-skating rink. * Cons: Very crowded at times, extra costs for most activities, can feel overwhelming. Overall: If you enjoy shopping, family activities, and don’t mind the crowds, Ice Mall is definitely worth a visit.

Overall we had a great time at the Ice Mall, but it's a bit tough to get through when crowded. Seems like they've got too many kiosks and other shops blocking the walkways. Best to visit outside of peak times.

A unique mall in Eilat featuring an ice rink at its center. Most shops revolve around clothing, though there are many decent food options and an arcade as well. A must-do if looking for something to do in the hotel district of Eilat!

Ice skating is definitely the highlight of the mall and is very recommended. Good food in the restaurants, and many good brands of clothes and more. Very little if any shaded parking, and summer in Eilat is very hot.

The mall is open 7 days a week but most of the stores are closed on weekends. Super crowded and the only advantage is that it’s a circle so you can find your way fairly easily.

Very beautiful shopping center downtown Eilat. It's medium size, includes some clothing stores, fashion accessories, places to eat, places to seat, souvenirs shops, playground for kids and ice skating attraction. One of a kind.

The mall I always go to when vising Eilat ,one of the biggest malls we have in Israel for sure ,it has more than enough brands for all accessories U need clothing shoes electronics,toys and most importantly! Activities ,it has ice skating arena ,a circle around the mall roof omega as you see in the photos! inCase U wanna just hang out in the air for few minutes while controlling the speed of your flight 🌈 and of course restaurants and fast food services! and on the outside there's a wide view of a big lake just next to the entery and exit ,and alot of statues for the family pictures and sometimes even street performers!

Easily accessible from Eilat, there is a path near the Isrotel Yam Suf (take Egged bus 15 from Eilat central bus station, cost is 4.20 NIS). Bring enough water and good hiking boots.

The perfect place for some peace and quiet. The veiw is amazing, especially when the sun sets and you get to see all the colors of the mountains. It's a great place to spend the day with your dog or even just go for a fun lil hike.

Wonderful..such landscape.never seen any where else..changes..colors.heights

❤❤❤

Nature at its best

(Translated by Google) In love with the desert! In the mountains of Eilat and in the whole area! The power of nature, the magnitude of changes that happened over millions of years... how small and weak a person is in front of them... amazing! (Original) מאוהבת במדבר! בהרי אילת ובכל האיזור! העוצמה של הטבע , הגודל של שינויים שקרו במשך מיליוני שנים... כמה שאדם קטן וחלש מולם.. מדהים!

(Translated by Google) When I saw it on the plane, I felt like I was landing on the moon. Terrifying and wonderful at the same time. You have to see it and understand it. (Original) Amikor a repülőn megláttam, olyan érzés fogott el, mintha a holdra szálnék le. Félelmetes és csodálatos egyben. Ezt látod kell, és megérted.

Modern, clean, and efficient airport with a relaxing atmosphere. The design is bright and spacious, with great views of the desert landscape through the large windows. Check-in and security were smooth and well-organized. While facilities are limited compared to larger international airports, everything is easy to find and the experience feels calm and welcoming. A great gateway to southern Israel and Eilat!

A brand new airport. It is really nice. New and clean. Lots of space. Easy links to Eilat via a cheap 4.20ILS coach direct to the beach resort. Really friendly airport staff. Good terminal design and a really cool control tower.

Small international, well equipped Airport, in the middle of the desert. Clean, new (as of 2020), Very nice architecture. The Airport has all needed, modern facilities for international flights. Sits on the border of Israel and Jordan

We were 2 hours early for our flight to Tel-Aviv and we were lucky to get onto an earlier flight in the last minute. One of the airport employee found an employee who could speak Hindi and English as we were unable to understand each other while enquiring for an earlier flight. Helpful staff. Small airport with some vending machines for snack.

Small airport but very good organized. All services are very quick and informative. Bus station to the Eilat, next to airport) busses #30 and 50)

Probably the worst airport that is modern and new and has no excuse to make you feel like a worthless human being. As you enter you are required to go to security principal check though the signage is a A4 paper sign with a tiny arrow while you could easily walk straight to the check in desk even if flying domestic. Which leads several passengers in my experience to re-queue and have to walk around for no logical reason which isn’t the end of the world just not a very thought out plan for a empty new modern airport. —- duty free wise don’t even bother Prices are hidden on purpose so you don’t see what the price is on certain goods. — even though I fluently understand Hebrew I was shouted out and told to not walk inside the duty free section of alcohol and other cosmetics duty free so called items with no barrier to know other than signage from green to red which indicates international flights / domestic so I was verbally told I cannot walk or even look 👀 at one side to the other while the shop is physically connected and just having a stroll as one does. Worst than anything I’ve seen in my actual life. Apparently you have no decent rights here while my British wife was scared as the worker shouted at us while on his personal phone sealed the deal for me to never return and just take the bus. Who wants to pay for convenience when in the end result you get abuse. -security personally was a breeze and useful to know you can bring your liquids with no limit - facility wise very clean and modern - local egged bus very easy and efficient A cab/taxi will cost you nearly your flight to eilat so if you wish to save cost is approx 10 shekel per person on a bus that goes the same route as a taxi and no longer. Taxi prices range from 120-150shekel

A great, extremly necessary and minimalist designed Airport. Israel could be proud of it as it starts operating within the next months. flights to and from Europe are expected to become more affordable and accessible for Israelis and for us - foreigners - it makes the trip to Israel more reasonable. spending 2 days at the airport for its press opening discovered small vital details for the comfort of the airport. the airport might expand its terminals in the future - I only hope that if such a thing happens - it will be in wise harmony with its architectural language. photos by Nick Hufton.

Please clean the station, garbage, bus seat and toliet!!! It was disgusting and filty!!!

The bus station is in the heart of Eilat within reach of all the shpps

Many complain over the Bus station. For me it's charming that it didn't change the last 40 years, All over the world stations are about the same. The one in Eilat is original. Even the staff, no extra, just yes or no!!! I love it. If you want a european style Cafe there are a lot of them just around the corner!

Normal bus station. Dirty toilets. Bad quality of customer service. Most bus drivers are mega rude. Nothing really to do inside except 2 stores where they sell basic snacks and drinks. Only great thing about it is that it is located in a central road therefore it connects you with almost everything that exists in eilat and connects you to those which are a bit further away but still close.

Too Busy while Returning back to Tel Aviv. And the driver want tickets while we have Bus Card. They should accept both tickets and Bus Card but they give Prority ko Tickets😡

Clean and air conditioned. Uncrowded. Counter attendants are kind but one bad thing is purchasing tickets at the counter has long been cash-only for unexplainable reasons, so you'll better get cash before you go there buy your tickets.

Small, cute bus stop, very close to the Mall Hayam and beach.

Relaxed and Supportive Atmosphere Snuba is a great spot with a really laid-back, tropical vibe. The dive center has a welcoming setup that feels like a beachside retreat — open-air, relaxed, and full of good energy. It’s the kind of place where people just hang out, chat, and enjoy the moment. The instructor I met was incredibly calming, especially when I was needing extra support. You could tell he was completely at ease in the water and really knew how to support newer divers. Definitely a place that makes you feel comfortable and well taken care of.

Great SCUBA diving center. They have very good equipment and a great staff. We had three dives with Gaya, and she was amazing. She is young but very calm and makes you feel confident and that you can trust her, like very experienced guides. The center is placed at the best area for diving, all you have to do is cross the road and you're at the Caves, which is an amazing place to dive. The place isn't fancy, but it's very welcoming and you can rest and relax there between dives. All the staff was welcoming, and Noga, who was the administrator, was helpful and nice whenever we needed her help.

Easy to rent snorkeling gear and really cheap as well. Beach is free to access and is across the street from the dive Center. Amazing coral reefs here and the closer you get to the Egyptian border. Hidden gem! Will be back again, this time with my own equipment

Great diving center!! Peaceful and professional. We use to come back every time. We like the diving sites around which are colorful and amazing. The best place to dive in eilat!!

My favorite diving club. Perfect for beginners, ideal for families, great for experienced divers. Snorkeling and diving is made possible for everyone at Snuba. Cosy atmosphere, nice people, good prices. Accessible for persons with disabilities. Dogs friendly. Parking for the customers. The diving spot is spectacular here: easy access, lot of fish, great corrals.

It was an incredible experience! I highly recommend everyone to try it at least once – amazing instructors, excellent equipment, and unforgettable impressions 💯

The best dive center in Eilat. The people who work there are amazing, great customer service and very welcoming! The location is right by the coral reefs. they have everything in shop. Snorkeling masks/suits/ lockers with locks. Small shop with drinks and such. It’s always a fun time when going there Thanks!

Best suited for snorkeling. Even if you don't know swimming you can rent the snorkeling face equipment and just use it next to the beach to view the amazing corals and beautiful fishes.

You might be able to peek here and there at the reef. Not the entire area is accessible to public. They have a 750m long lane accessible with bridges for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving (bring your own gear- though they might rent if needed - at least snorkeling). Not really food option but it’s a nice bring your own food stay by the beach kind of place. There is a supermarket across from the road where parking is free and where you can get goodies. Amenities are sparse but that is fine.

Amazing beach. So fun jumping off the deck! Really gorgeous views and access to marine life. Free beach and they offer lounge chairs and snacks!

Very cool beach, only with rocks and perfect for snorkeling and diving. Location well equipped with bar, umbrellas and deckchairs.

Heaven for snorkelling, especially for nervous snorkellers: they have designed a snorkelling 'route' around the reef with a rope you can use for guidance and feeling a bit more secure. The marine life is amazing with huge colourful fish. They rope of the main reef to protect it from damage from selfish tourists, but you can still see it from the edge. Beach has plenty of shade and chairs. All equipment and lockers available. Take your own food as all you can get here are french fries or frozen pizza they heat up. You can get here by a 5 minute bus from the main area of Eilat.

Very well organized for snorkeling but maybe too much... in the water you can’t really get close to the corals and there are many people at the same place so not so wild as you could expect.

Great experience. Lots of space to sit. The snorkelling was great fun and there were lots and lots of fish.

Great place! We pitched our tent here for two nights, and it was well worth the price! Places to wash your dishes, drinking water station, toilets, showers, and lots of other people camping!! Fun atmosphere, and you can easily make friends! Obviously, you’re in the most amazing park in Israel too so that’s a plus! Has walking trails, biking trails, and just sites to see if you only have a couple hours to spend. Cheap beers and food too!! And the nicest staff. Sadly, you can’t swim in the lake. That was disappointing for us. And the bathrooms weren’t cleaned once while we were there.. stains in every toilet, you had to pick the best one. BUT I still highly recommend!

Not bat for a rest after hot internal Timna park traveling

Great place to relax after journey in the desert. Also you can buy here good handmade icecream.

Very nice experience on the Moringa tents they provide bedding and the tent has refrigerator microwave and water heater. Shlomo Collums and the Tabernacle replica are a nice visit. You can also do a bike trip.

Amazing history and information on how they are using this area today

Great place for israelis and tourists. We came two adults and two kids ages 3 & 4 and had lots of fun for three hours and still didn't get to do all the activities. We surely come back again soon.

An artificial lake in an old copper mine

Had a superb time during a car ride from Eilat to Jerusalem, private transfer with my family of 4. Avi, who's a very intelligent person, is super sweet, professional, courteous, punctual. He shared so many amazing stories, facts about the country. 4 hours went by so fast. Thank you Avi! Hope to see you soon

Wow, Eilat Taxi couldn't have been a better experience. We booked them a bit last minute for a taxi ride from the airport to the Jordanian border. It was extremely easy to make the arrangements, the pricing was very reasonable, and our driver was so personable and nice! We had a wonderful conversation with her on our way to the crossing. Thank you!

We booked 3 transfers with Eilat taxi. Fantastic service - drivers always arrived on time and were very friendly. They were also very accommodating when we wished to increase our number of passengers/add extra stops.

One of the most professional, fair and effective transportation services ever used in my life. Called while I was at the Aqaba Eilat border to request a quote for a taxi ride to Jerusalem. The price worked out to be cheaper than flying there. In less then one hour the owner himself made himself available and took us on a four hour drive to Jerusalem. Internet and water included on top of a premium customer service. Hugely advisable!

Lovely driver who showed up on time to take us from Mitzpe Ramon to the border crossing to Jordan near Eilat. Warm, friendly and safe. Ride was expensive but less than what I could find elsewhere. I would definitely use them again. Driver was patient waiting for us at hotel and at store buying snacks for the journey.

We booked a trip from Eilat to Red Canyon (total time 3 hours). The car was prepared on time before hotel with my name, professional service, fix and clear price (with prepared bill) and also the driver told us interesting facts during journey. On the way back he took us to the view to see Eilat (we were a little bit faster than 3 hours) free of charges. Totally worth the money because the public transport during Shabbat is very limited.

I recommend Eilat Taxi. You can make a reservation earlier via their website and What’s App and they tell you the price at the moment of the reservation. A drive from Eilat to Ramon AirPort on Saturday morning costed 130 shekels. The driver was at our apartment on time and was really nice.

The perfect place for some peace and quiet. The veiw is amazing, especially when the sun sets and you get to see all the colors of the mountains. It's a great place to spend the day.

Amazing place. Looks like Arizona.

Beautiful and special area, amazing view

Nothing more beautiful!!

"Isreal hiking" is the app to use when in the mountains. It has all the trails marked and pro GIS features. (need internet connection. Offline saving available)

Huge reserve of desert and mountains, a lot of trails with different difficulties, and different experiences from wildlife observing and views of the bay and the red sea.

Very nice and interesting location. You must have water with you !

Super fun! 40 shekels for two people, but definitely worth it.

not that expensive: 40ils each for a couple and the experience is breathtaking

Very expensive, the attraction is very short, but its fun

Nice attraction

(Translated by Google) What else can be added about this facility, except that there is a queue of at least 40 minutes to get on it. A pleasant experience and a bit expensive (Original) מה כבר אפשר להוסיף על המתקן הזה, למעט שיש תור של לפחות 40 דקות לעלות עליו. חוויה נעימה וטיפה יקרה

(Translated by Google) If you have glasses, please be careful, they sell you a very expensive ticket and don't inform you that when you go to the ball you will have to part with them because they are not responsible for the glasses and then either you will hand them to the operator and you won't see anything and then what is the experience here exactly? Or go up with them and if something happens to the glasses, it's your problem. The minimum is to inform you before paying at the cash register and then you will decide for yourself if you are coming with or without or if you will have time to organize a ribbon for glasses yourself. .

I don't know one tree or plant from another but the attraction of this place is just comprehending that they were able to build this beautiful tropical oasis in the middle of a desert. It looks like it's been there forever. I can't even imagine the effort that went in to developing this lovely oasis from scratch. We had lovely weather on a ;day in mid-March and spent 2 hours walking the trails and relaxing in the shade, a morning of tranquility. (If you have mobility issues then it would be difficult to climb some of the steep inclines and stairs. We had no problem but be forewarned).

Its a nice little botanic garden with varied species, especially for an arid desert. Many flies around so bring some anti-mosquito cream, also obviously it's outside - so if you come when it's very hot you will have a hard time walking around.

This place was really a suprice. I tought this was quite basic , but this place is very nice. It has many view points to take pictures. There is alot walking routes and places to sit. If you visit eilat this is a good place to go.

It's a lovely place to visit Especially because it's one men's dream to fight the dessert.. And boy did it work .. Don't expect to much but it is growing.. I'd recommend it heartily

Lovely visit and well worth visiting. Warm welcome on arrival. Great views. You'll also find out about an army look out post among the botanical gardens and rain forest.

Nice place with kind people The story around it is pretty awesome but the place it self is simple It’s not too big so I would say it’s about 2 hours activity You can enter with any kind of food (just water) so leave it in your car before you go.

Beautiful and uniqe tropical island in the desert. Plenty of adorable sitting spots and lots of shaded areas. Don't miss out the rain forest water sprinklers on hot days! The place is way above expectations for a private initiative like that.

You can do the visit with your own car. We enjoyed the visit but we were a little bit disappointed since the predator zone was closed (according to the girl that sold us the tickets since 2016). They gave us a map with the name of the animals but there was no other information in the brochure. I think that they need to renew a little bit the installations. There is a picnic zone in the entrance and also a WC.

Nice 2 hours entertaining self-guided Park to visit. Drive in biblical zoo with very good recorded explanation tracks for the ride.

Nice place to visit for a change of pace, but can't say there is a lot to do there. Nice to see the animals at a very natural and spacious environment and I can appreciate that, but gets pretty monotonousness after 30 minutes, don't expect the place to entertain the family for more than an hour. I heard it used to be bigger, but nowadays you can mainly see only Ostriches, Arabian Oryxes and Donkeys (I'm sure I'm missing something, but no more predators at the Hai-Bar as of 2020).

Absolutely amazing place. I volunteered here for a few weeks, with a friend in February 2017. The staff/rangers are truly incredible people. Their devotion to the animals and the guests who volunteer is like none other. I would highly recommend stopping by this amazing sanctuary. During the course of my volunteering I became much more aware and appreciative of desert life. I learned that the a lot of the animals within the reserve are kept away from the general public, as to keep them relaxed and comfortable. I thought this was fantastic and a very rare thing to see. Almost every place that cares for animals, also uses whatever ways they can to gain money and attention from said animals. Not the Hai-Bar. It might not be the best for visitors but I commend them for their actions. They would rather live comfortably knowing the animals are safe and not stressed. That should be respected! P.S. Just so you know, the desert actually contains pretty much any animal that you can find anywhere else. Just smaller, more adapted to conditions. (I'm often asked why I would volunteer at an animal sanctuary in the desert)

A little safari park with a lot of ostriches, different kind of funny deers, horses, etc. The animals are close to the road so you can see them well from your car. You need to stay in your car during the visit. If you stop next to an ostrich they will try to eat some invisible things from your car. So if you see an ostrich near a car and picking something it doesn't necessarily mean that they are feeding the animal, it can mean that the bird thinks that it can eat the car and it's really funny to see. You need to drive on a dirt road but it's doable with any kind of car. Ask for the CD/pendrive that explains everything about the park, it's full of interesting info.

Not very excited tour, but definitely worth to visit. You can drive around in your own car what is taking around 30-45 minutes. You will see all animals which are living in the dessert.

Really cool place and the ambitious project of restoring wildlife to their natural habitat is in a word: amazing. Though it's nothing like going on Safari in Africa, it's really nice to drive through and meet all sorts of wildlife.

An incredible site to visit. You need to drive there on a paved road and then turn right drive on a dirt road for a few minutes. Park the car by the fence for the view and then you can walk down to the lake. The walk down is about 15 minutes. There is nothing down there but the beautiful water. There are no garbage cans or anything so please help keep the place pristine and take an extra garbage bag with you. The water is saltier than the ocean. Closer to the Dead Sea in its consistency.

Great spot to impress tourists and local friends in Israel. I wouldn't go all the way down on the regular car, but you could park at the top and enjoy the desert vibes. The place looks like oasis, but I wouldn't ve swim in there as it looks like old abandoned mine or something and has a lot of trashed cars inside.

A beautiful place, about 10 minutes from parking to the lake. The water is very salty!! The way back is harder, around 15 minutes.

It's not a park, but anyway, this is very interesting place to visit and make some photos there.

Charming and a little scary place. Definitely worth a visit. Nice place to have lunch 😛

Very beautiful lake near Eilat. The lake is on short drive from the highway on a dirt road. You can park on the south-east to view the lake from above or to park north-east to go down to the lake and swim.

Perfect spot for swimming and camping, but the entrance need some work
