Yes, we have a fully equipped guest kitchen including a gas stove and a refrigerator. The closest supermarket is a 2-minute walk from the hostel.

Quiet time in the whole hostel is 22:00 every night. We ask all guests to be respectful of each other and not make noise after this time. Many of our guests are divers, hikers, and travelers who need to wake up very early each day. We lock the front gate at midnight so that sleeping guests are not disturbed by latecomers.

There is a designated smoking area outside the front gate of the hostel. Smoking inside the hostel, including our garden and outside seating area, is not allowed. Drugs are strictly forbidden at our property. 

All our dorms are single-sex (male or female) only. Families and married couples can request a private room by calling our office.

We have a safe in our office for your valuables and a locked shack for storing baggage.

Paid parking is available by Pango in front of the hostel. 

Payment by cash or credit card can be made at check-in.

Most of our guests either take a bus from Ben Gurion Airport to Tel Aviv and then a direct bus to Eilat (5 hours). The train from the airport to Beer Sheva is also an option, with a connection from Beer Sheva to Eilat by bus. Flights can also be found from Tel Aviv to Eilat Ramon Airport.

If you are arriving at Ramon Airport, you can take bus number 30 (which runs every 20-30 minutes) to the Eilat Central Bus Station and walk 10-minutes to the hostel or take a taxi.

You are welcome to join us in the mornings at 08:00 for a one-hour time of singing and Bible study in our succah. On Friday evenings, we have an international gospel meeting followed by a free meal for Shelter guests, local Eilati’s and others. Furthermore, we have other spontaneous gatherings throughout the week, weather permitting.

We seek to live by the values as we understand them from the Old and New Testaments. Guests from all religions, backgrounds, and countries are welcome to stay with us. We respect others' worldviews and expect to have ours respected also.

Some rooms have air conditioners, and others use desert coolers, a system designed for dry climates. It doesn’t get the rooms as cold as air conditioners, but it’s healthier and better for the environment. Fans are also available in all the rooms. 

Most Israelis speak English well, though as in most countries, they’ll be happy to hear you speaking a few words of Hebrew. Our staff and volunteers speak many languages, including both Hebrew and English. They will be happy to help you with any questions during your stay. 

We have an international, friendly team of volunteers between the ages of 20 and 30. If you are interested in joining the Shelter staff, please write us an email, and we’ll send you the information.
