Eilat Israel at the beach. The lights to the left are Aqaba, Jordan and the lights to the far right are in Saudi Arabia (the middle ones are close to the Jordan / Saudi Arabia border and I do not know which country they are in) The Egypt border is just a few miles to the south and spreads along the western border of Israel.
The airport in Eilat would NEVER be FAA approved. Because of the close proximity of the borders and because the airport and end of the runway is situated just a few yards (literally) from this beach, the airplanes are actually beginning their flare just to the west of this beach (and over the shopping centers and some of the hotels) I tried to get pics but at that low altitude, they are landing before you realize they were even there.

More tropical fish at the Red Sea - the first pic is near the shoreline and the other two is from the underwater marine observatory (a staircase takes you below the sea so you can see the reef and the fish)

The Ramon Crater in the Negev (desert) on the way from Eilat (after the Timna mine) and before Be'er Sheva

Just past the Ramon Crater (next to the gas station) Gas was over $6.00 a gallon throughout Israel :(

I drove within a couple of miles of the Gaza Strip border - between the border and Sderot (where the missiles fired by the arabs from from Gaza land almost every day)
