There
is no other place like it in the world!
Eilat is blessed with the most amazing and unique coral reef in
the world, with an underwater marine observatory situated in the heart
of the reef.
The park offers its visitors a rare opportunity to enter the natural and
abundant marine kingdom of the Red Sea – an unforgettable experience for
both young and old.
The park has a spectacular display (over 800 species) of fish,
coral, sharks, molluscs, stingrays, turtles, and many other animals from
the Gulf of Eilat.
And, the most unforgettable place of all - the Underwater Marine
Observatory, the only one of its kind in the world!
The observatory is a tower situated in the middle of the sea,
without any fences or cages, offering a rare view of the Red Sea, with
its bright colors, tones, and the marine life in the Gulf of Eilat. The
tower is comprised of two display halls. These halls are submerged at a
depth of 12 meters under the sea, offering visitors a natural view of
the coral reef's spectacular beauty through huge plate glass windows.
