Why a vacation in a trailer

“Eilat??! Insanely expensive! It is better to go abroad…” Which of you have not heard one of the friends who returned from vacation and stated this? Do not travel to Eilat simply because it is too expensive.

It’s true that the hotels in Eilat are expensive, the restaurants are not the cheapest and the entire vacation is really expensive comparted to a different location abroad.

So how can you still enjoy Eilat we love so much, without spending thousands of shekels on a single weekend? The answer is caravans.

It started almost 10 years ago and today the beaches are full of them. Dozens of caravans of all sizes are rented to tourists and are the perfect solution for a pampering holiday at extremely low prices.

Caravan rental in Eilat ranges from NIS 400-1000 per night per caravan, which accommodates between 2-6 people.

The facilities in the caravan

There are several types of caravans for rent.

Caravans for rent in Eilat will usually be towed which can be changed with the help of another vehicle capable of towing the trailer.

The caravan is fully equipped with built-in furniture and accessories like in every home, with adjustments to size constraints.

In most caravans you will find: a double bed, bunk beds, sitting area, kitchenette, air conditioner and a toilet and shower.

The electric products in the caravans are partly powered by a solar system installed on the roof of the caravan and some by a generator. Important !: Although this may seem obvious, it is recommended that before renting a caravan that the rental also includes the use of a generator, it is advisable to ask for guidance on the operation of the generator to avoid any inconveniences that may result if the generator stops working. A few minutes in the Eilat heat without air conditioning can seem like a few hours and ruin a full day of vacation.

The toilet services in the caravan are chemical, meaning the waste is stored in a container to be emptied. This is done by the caravan owner and here it is also worth checking with the landlord before reserving the vacation.

Location of caravans in Eilat

The Eilat Bay has 2 large coastal strips, the north coast and the south coast.

The north coast extends along the sea from the tourist center to the border with Aqaba, Jordan. The south coast extends from the tourist center to the border with Sinai, Egypt.

The two beaches are stunningly beautiful but different from each other. The south coast is located along the beautiful reefs of the Gulf of Eilat and is therefore also full of diving clubs. The north coast is characterized by a more water friendly entrance, more pleasant sand with fewer stones from the south coast as well as water without reefs and less sea urchins.

The caravans are located on the North Shore.
