Have you decided to take a vacation in Israel? That's a very good choice. But if you've decided to relax in the resort city of Eilat, which is made for this purpose, be prepared, it's expensive! But once in a lifetime, you can afford it!
Certainly, the easiest option is to use Eilat — Ramon Airport. It's Israel's second largest airport. If Haifa is about 100 km from Tel Aviv, then Eilat is almost 400 km away. Taxis can be more expensive than plane tickets.) By the way, Israeli airlines "Arkia" and "Israir" operate local flights to Tel Aviv and Haifa from Ramon Airport. So you can also explore the north of the country.
The airport is located approximately 20 kilometers (10-15 minutes drive) from the city of Eilat. It's a new, modern airport opened in 2019. The terminal offers travelers free Wi-Fi, medical services for first aid, and equipment (wheelchairs and more) adapted for those with special needs - according to Israeli Law on Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities and in accordance with Israel's accessibility standard. Many foreign airlines such as Wizz Air, ASL, Ryanair, and Lufthansa offer direct flights from Eilat to Europe, to major European destinations like Moscow, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Milan, Berlin, Budapest, and others.
Outside the terminal, there are 4 parking lots: a large parking lot for the general public and parking lots for taxis, employees, and car rental companies. The parking rate at the parking lot located at the front of the terminal (boarding exits 33-34) is 6 shekels per hour and 26 shekels per day.
Public transport to Eilat - buses. On the north side of the terminal, the final stop is "Timna," intended for arriving passengers, and on the south side of the terminal, the final stop is "Avrona," intended for departing passengers. Public transportation to Eilat is operated by the bus company "Egged." On the company's website, you can find information about schedules, bus routes, and fares. Outside the terminal, there is also a taxi stand, operating in accordance with the Price Control Order of the Israeli Ministry of Transport. The fare from Ramon Airport to Eilat is strictly based on the meter reading.

The advantage of our offer is obvious - you will be met, you don't need to run with luggage and look for bus stops, you will be taken directly to the address comfortably and observing all safety rules. After all, it's Israel!
You can also fly to the central airport of the country, Ben-Gurion. The thing is, the flight Moscow - Eilat costs 2-3 times more than a similar flight to Tel Aviv (Ben-Gurion). And there are fewer flights to Eilat than to Ben-Gurion. Of course, if you order a transfer from Ben-Gurion Airport to Eilat, it will cost you three times more than from Ramon to Eilat, but you will save on the cost of plane tickets and have the opportunity to travel almost the entire country - from the center to the southernmost point at once!
You can, of course, get from Ben-Gurion to Eilat by public transport. Now we will tell you how to do it.
The first option is a bus from Tel Aviv to Eilat. It departs from the Central Bus StationYou can reach this stop in Tel Aviv by train from terminal No. 3 of Ben-Gurion Airport. You need to take the train for one stop, which is - Tel Aviv HaHaganaThis costs $4 and takes about 10 minutes, not including waiting for the train. Then transfer to the bus, about five hours of travel, and you're in Eilat.
You can also get to Eilat from Tel Aviv Airport by taxi. It costs around $400, but if you're a solo passenger and there are three more passengers like you, it will be $100 per person. But there is a concern that you don't know who these people are, who are getting into the car with you, or who the driver is. A distance of 340 km from Tel Aviv - is no joke. In general, we would not recommend using this method of travel.
