Eilat Nature School
The Eilat Nature School, also referred to as the Eilat Field School (Hebrew: bet sefer sadeh Eilat), belongs to the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel. The complex is outside Eilat's commercial center along Route 90, also known as Derekh Mitzrayim (Egypt Road), across from the Coral Reef Nature Reserve. The Nature School's lodging is part of Israel's network of zimmers, which are simple, countryside bed and breakfasts. The Eilat Nature School has 50 air-conditioned rooms suitable for small or large parties and guests with disabilities. The facility provides a kosher dining room, grills, in-room breakfast and free coffee and tea. Guided tours and maps are also available. Because the Nature School is outside of the city center, prepare to hail a taxi if you will not have a car or a bicycle.
