Airports (and Terminals) You'll Actually Want to Spend Time in
"The highlight of this new international airport is the modern white architecture juxtaposed with the surrounding desert scenery. It offers sweeping views of the Negev Desert mountains and is designed to keep fliers comfortable with white aluminum panels reflecting the desert sun's heat."
A great, extremly necessary and minimalist designed Airport.
Small airport but very good organized. All services are very quick and informative. flights to and from Europe are expected to become more affordable and accessible for Israelis and for us - foreigners - it makes the trip to Israel more reasonable.

A brand new airport. It is really nice. New and clean. Lots of space. Easy links to Eilat via a cheap 4.20ILS coach direct to the beach resort. Really friendly airport staff. Good terminal design and a really cool control tower.

Small international, well equipped Airport, in the middle of the desert. Clean, new (as of 2020), Very nice architecture. The Airport has all needed, modern facilities for international flights. Sits on the border of Israel and Jordan

We were 2 hours early for our flight to Tel-Aviv and we were lucky to get onto an earlier flight in the last minute. One of the airport employee found an employee who could speak Hindi and English as we were unable to understand each other while enquiring for an earlier flight. Helpful staff. Small airport with some vending machines for snack.

A great, extremly necessary and minimalist designed Airport. Israel could be proud of it as it starts operating within the next months. flights to and from Europe are expected to become more affordable and accessible for Israelis and for us - foreigners - it makes the trip to Israel more reasonable. spending 2 days at the airport for its press opening discovered small vital details for the comfort of the airport. the airport might expand its terminals in the future - I only hope that if such a thing happens - it will be in wise harmony with its architectural language. photos by Nick Hufton.

Beautiful scenery, great architectural design, 18km from Eilat, express buses to Eilat available nearby
The service in the airport isn’t efficient, however polite enough

Probably the worst airport that is modern and new and has no excuse to make you feel like a worthless human being.
As you enter you are required to go to security principal check though the signage is a A4 paper sign with a tiny arrow while you could easily walk straight to the check in desk even if flying domestic. Which leads several passengers in my experience to re-queue and have to walk around for no logical reason which isn’t the end of the world just not a very thought out plan for a empty new modern airport.
—- duty free wise don’t even bother
Prices are hidden on purpose so you don’t see what the price is on certain goods.
— even though I fluently understand Hebrew I was shouted out and told to not walk inside the duty free section of alcohol and other cosmetics duty free so called items with no barrier to know other than signage from green to red which indicates international flights / domestic so I was verbally told I cannot walk or even look 👀 at one side to the other while the shop is physically connected and just having a stroll as one does.
Worst than anything I’ve seen in my actual life.
Apparently you have no decent rights here while my British wife was scared as the worker shouted at us while on his personal phone sealed the deal for me to never return and just take the bus. Who wants to pay for convenience when in the end result you get abuse.
-security personally was a breeze and useful to know you can bring your liquids with no limit
- facility wise very clean and modern
- local egged bus very easy and efficient
A cab/taxi will cost you nearly your flight to eilat so if you wish to save cost is approx 10 shekel per person on a bus that goes the same route as a taxi and no longer. Taxi prices range from 120-150shekel
