In Eilat, along the coastline, there is about maybe a mile or two with just high class hotels like the Dan and Sheraton and Hilton, and this strip has great steak, Chinese, pizzerias, and Italian restaurants as well as a small theme park if the kids get bored. This strip is where most people stay, and outside of the strip of great hotels on the coast of the red sea, there aren't much great accommodations except for the Princess which is on the Egyptian border, as opposed to the Jordanian one. For low-budget travelers, there are tent camps and hostels which aren't too bad. Overall,this strip is the center of touristic action in Eilat. Right next to the beach and great commercial establishments, visit it if you're staying there or not.
