Ovda International Airport is the main gateway to the Israeli resort of Eilat. Eilat is located in the far south of Israel, by the Red Sea. However, the airport is actually 60kms north of Eilat, therefore many visitors choose to transfer to their accommodation with cheap car hire in Eilat Airport Ovda.
