Shopping in Eilat and the Negev

Along the beachside promenade, on the ground level of each hotel, you'll pass one boutique shop after another. You'll find at least 40 stores and lots of restaurants, pubs, and coffeehouses—Cafe Aroma, which is open 24/7, is a good bet for a chocolate croissant, Greek salad, or orange cake. If you'd rather sun and play during the day, you'll still have plenty of time to shop at night—these places are open until 9 pm or later (except Friday night). Here's a sampling of some of the best.
