1 Best Sight in Eilat and the Negev, Israel

Botanical Garden of Eilat

This former military base is now home to plants from all over the world, as well as some grown from seeds thousands of years old. The small, family-friendly park is a green oasis in the middle of the desert. An easy walk takes you to a waterfall and an artificial rain forest that mists every few minutes. You can explore the whole garden in under an hour. The refreshment area serves coffee and ice cream.
