The Underwater Observatory in Eilat: Seeing Israel from a different point of view

   The Underwater Observatory in Eilat looks at Israel from a different point of view- from the sea.

   Shmuel and I went to see it when we were down in Eilat with a group. Shmuel had not been to see it in 20 years and thus the experience reminded him of his childhood. In another way, the Underwater Observatory took us all back to our childhoods because of the brightly colored fish and beautiful aquariums.

   Over the last 20 years, the Eilat Underwater Observatory has changed a lot, with various new sections added. We were excited to be able to wander through the new rare fish exhibit, as well as the Amazon forest water exhibit and the shark tank.

   There was a 3D movie about sharks which was very enjoyable. The movable seats made it feel as if we were on the boat with the actors as we watched their trip and learned about sharks and shark migrations.

   It was a lot of fun to be able to go out to the underwater observatory to see even more, walking down the stairs to look out at the underwater view of Israel. We also enjoyed going up to the top of the observatory and feeling the wind as we looked at Israel and Jordan. Remember however- hold on to your hat and camera tightly. They will get blown away if you are not careful!
