The Eilat Birds Festival is organized by the Israel Ornithological Center of the SPNI and has become one of the most significant international events in the WP birding scene. The festival is a weeklong event that includes day and night birding tours to all the best sites in southern Israel, many bird related activities, presentations, talks and more. The festival guides are the best guides in the country with intimate knowledge of the terrain and where to find the birds, and with great people skills.

The 7^th festival will take place at the peak of Spring migration, 13^th-20^th March 2013.

For the 2013 festival we are happy to return to the Isrotel Agamim Hotel in Eilat, where the festival banquet and evening assemblies will take place at our special birders pub. Join us for a drink while listening to an interesting presentation or discussing the day’s highlights.

Festival packages include accommodation at the Agamim hotel, your choice of several free fully guided tours daily and evening activities. The past 6 festivals hosted hundreds of birdwatchers from over 15 nationalities that enjoyed a host of real rarities, including extreme vagrants and memorable migration days.

The festival proves to be an excellent melting pot, bringing together birders from all over the globe to humble at the spectacle of spring migration at its best. Besides the free daily tours, several specialty tours are on offer. These longer tours target specific species or regions of southern Israel. The specialty tours are extras but are world class tours that offer incredible value for money.
