Welcome
The Eilat Hotel Experience provides you the opportunity to earn valuable experience in the hotel and tourism industries while living and playing in Israel's resort city. Israel Way partners with leading hotel chains in Eilat to provide participants with internship placements. Rotate among a series of positions in your hotel and get a broad perspective of hotel operations.
Participants on the Eilat Hotel Experience program will start from the bottom working their way up. Most participants will begin their experience in the food and beverage department of the hotels as a busser or server. Those with more advanced Hebrew may be able to work in other positions.
