Port of Eilat

אילת, Italy

Port of Eilat

The Port of Eilat (Hebrew: נמל אילת) was the only Israeli port on the Red Sea, located at the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba. This strategic location has given it outsized importance despite being remote from the country's main population centers, and access to the port has played a key role in A

rab-Israeli conflicts. The port shut down in July 2025 following a blockade by the Houthi movement.
