The Underwater Observatory Park in Eilat

About

All the information about the Underwater Observatory Park in Eilat The Underwater Observatory in Eilat is the only one of its kind in the world. The observatory is a tower located in the middle of the sea, with no fences or cages, allowing you to take a glance at the Red Sea in all its colors, shades, and magnificent animals living within it. The tower is built from two exhibition halls. These halls are submerged 6 meters below sea level, and through giant windows you can naturally view the amazing beauty of the coral reef. At the Underwater Observatory you can also enjoy the world of sharks, the large and impressive shark pool in the Middle East—an awe-inspiring glimpse into the mysterious world of swimmers in the depths.

In the park there are spectacular displays of fish of more than 800 species of coral, sharks, invertebrates, sea cats, turtles, and more. The park provides a rare opportunity to enter the rich and vibrant world of the Red Sea, and it is an experience for both children and adults alike. This is a huge complex spanning an area of 1,000 square meters. The pool contains three million liters of water. The pool is crossed by a transparent acrylic tunnel. Visitors who pass through it will see the sharks at arm's reach, swimming above and alongside them, and will enjoy a breathtaking experience that simulates a rare stay in the depths. Like all the aquariums in the park, within the shark world there is also a complex ecological system that fully simulates the waters of Eilat Bay with thousands of magnificent fish and corals from the Red Sea Bay. More in the complex: an interactive experiential game; a three-dimensional film about the world of the whales; fascinating guided tours; feeding koi fish independently; viewing the feeding of unique and impressive animals throughout the day; opening real shells and discovering the pearl! Sailing on a corral around the reef, where it is possible to see the sea life under the water—50% boat and 50% submarine; Jambory for children. Restaurants throughout the park; jewelry and souvenirs shops; special activities for organizations and groups. Eilat is blessed with an amazing and unique coral reef of its kind in the world, and the Underwater Observatory Park is located in the very heart of this reef.
