Hostels are an affordable way to stay in Eilat, and also a great place to meet new people from all over the world. A bed in a dorm costs on average $20 per night, and a private room for couples costs on average $70 per night.
With 360 days of sun a year, a loud nightlife, scuba diving and swimming with dolphins, beaches, and awesome spring break parties… you don’t need to leave Israel to have a great weekend away!
