Coral World Underwater Observatory
מצפה התת-ימי
An underwater observatory and marine park built in the sea. Visitors can see the Red Sea coral reef through glass windows without getting wet.
The Underwater Observatory is Eilat's most classic attraction. A white observation tower stands in the sea and is connected by a jetty. Visitors descend to a viewing hall about 6 meters underwater, where glass windows give direct views of rocks and schools of tropical fish. The park also includes a shark tank, a sea turtle pool, a Red Sea coral aquarium and an observation tower. It suits families and visitors who do not dive. You can add a semi-submarine boat trip. Tickets are fairly expensive, so check the official website for prices. Plan to spend half a day. It is south of Coral Beach and reachable by Bus 15 from the city.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–16:00 (shorter on Fridays and before holidays)
