'''Eilat''' is a city in the southern tip of [[Israel]], around 4-5 hours ride to [[Tel Aviv]] and [[Jerusalem]]. It is also the gateway to [[Taba]] in [[Egypt]], and [[Aqaba]] in [[Jordan]].

== Hitchhiking out ==
Eilat has the distinct advantage of having basiclly only one road out, The ''Arava Road'', Number 90. It stretches to the north of the city, and continues all the way up to the [[Dead Sea]], and intersects with the roads to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
=== To [[Taba]], [[Egypt]] ===
The Egytian border is only 7.5km away, and it's not really feasible to hitchhike there since most drivers will just get you to one of the hotels in the area. Every hour bus line 15 goes from Eilat main Bus station, and will take you till the border for 6.4 NIS.
:[[User:Halt,_Stop!_Reudnitz_kommt.|Craig]] found it easy to get a lifts around Eilat, even around the border. Stick out your thumb and walk along the roads (10 mins, 5 mins, 5 mins).
