Rosh Hashanah 2026 in Eilat — Villas and Apartments for the Holiday

Rosh Hashanah 2026 in Eilat — Why It's the Right Choice

Rosh Hashanah in Eilat is a completely different experience from Rosh Hashanah in the city. Instead of cold and crowds — sun, sea, and a private pool. Instead of a meal in the family dining room — a holiday meal on the deck with a view of the Red Sea. Many Israeli families have discovered in recent years that the New Year holiday should be celebrated by the sea.

Rosh Hashanah 2026 Dates

Rosh Hashanah 5787 falls on September 12–13, 2026. Erev Chag is on September 11. Yom Kippur: September 21. Sukkot: September 26.
