The museum is somewhat smallish as museums go, very homely in layout and atmosphere, absolutely packed with fascinating photographs, texts, graphs, artifacts, pieces of machinery and film — all mixed together with a huge dollop of pride in the extraordinary development of the Red Sea port. Spread over three halls, the museum presents Eilat through collections of exhibits sharing the historical, economic-industrial and tourist development of the city.
