Eilat's air quality benefits from its exceptional Gulf of Aqaba and Red Sea position at the very tip of Israel, with consistent Red Sea and Aqaba Gulf northerly winds providing reliable maritime ventilation along this famous resort and diving destination. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the tourism, port, and logistics corridor contribute local sources, while the outstanding Gulf of Aqaba coastal exposure and the dramatic Negev and Arabian desert mountain backdrop generally maintain Eilat among Israel's more reliably ventilated coastal resort environments throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Eilat?
Pollution in Eilat typically rises when traffic emissions and tourism-related traffic combine, especially once onshore breezes fall calm. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather. This natural ventilation is one reason coastal areas often see better readings than inland cities.
Are air quality levels in Eilat based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
