Eilat is one of the most important spots for migratory birds in the world. The only overland bridge between Europe, Asia and Africa is also a bottle-neck that serves hundreds of millions of migratory birds. Moreover, these birds in Eilat, are preparing themselves for the most challenging task of crossing the foodless and hostile Saharan desert. We also offering guided tours by request.

This place is definitely worth visiting if you have some free time in Eilat. Easy to reach, completely free and nicely made. Unfortunately we did not see many birds in January but there were still some in the water searching for food so we could make some great pics. I guess the peak season is in March.

Nature at its best! There's a 30 minute challenging hike to the natural pool, but if we seniors could do it anyone can. If you're into swimming in very cold water at least bring towels :-) Don't expect to find any kiosk, cafes or restaurants anywhere near. Bring drinking water.

This surprising place is in the middle of nowhere. A couple followed their passion to raise crocodiles, and in this way prevent their extinction. Their passion is evident. I never knew that crocodiles are so interessting. Did you know they live up to 140 years, and they never get sick? Did you know they can bite from the first moment they come out of the egg? The presentation was excellent, Ideal for families with children, or anyone who is interested in animals.
