Overview

The Reef Raf spot is located in Eilat, on the shores of the Red Sea, at the extreme south of Israel. Unlike the country's Mediterranean spots, this spot overlooks the Gulf of Aqaba and benefits from north thermal winds channeled by the Arava Valley. The Red Sea offers warm waters year-round. Spot suitable for intermediate level riders.
