Eilat Bird Watching Center

Eilat and the southern Arava are located on the northern border of the Saharo-Arab desert belt. This is why they are so important for many species of migratory birds. For the autumn migration of birds, Eilat and the Arava are the last gas station before they continue south to the hardest part journey - crossing the Sahara.

During the spring, the birds must land in Eilat and the Arava, for longer this time - to recharge strength after they crossed the desert, and before they continue to migrate north to breeding areas in Europe and
