Development of Eilat Traced
The fate of the coopefa-
don between us and the
neighbouring countries too
will depend to a considera-
ble extent on the wisdom
and the talent that we re-
veal in establishing friendly
relationships with the Ar-
abs who live in Eretz Yis-
rael.
—David Ben-Gurion
Eilat, Israel's southern-
most city, is first mentioned
in the account of the Israe-
lites' wanderings in the de-
sert during the Exodus. So-
lomon built a "navy of
ships" at Etzion-Geber be-
side Eilat. From there it
sailed to Ophir manned by
his servants and those of
Hiram, king of Tyre.
Later Uzziah king of Ju-
dah (785-733 BCE), rebuilt
Eilat restoring it as the port
of Judah on the Red Sea, but
after his reign Judahite con-
trol of the Negev ceased. In
the Hellenistic period it
served for a time as a Ptole-
maic port called Berenice
and it is later mentioned as
a Nabatean port (renamed
Aila) from which an impor-
tant commercial highway
led to Gaza, according to the
Encyclopaedia Judaica.

Jerusalem, captured the
port: the fleet of Reynaud de
Chatillon sailed from there
to harass Arab maritime
trade in the Red Sea. Sala-
din, who brought the Cru-
saders' rule to an end in
1170, erected a fortress at
Akaba. By the 14th Century
the town was almost com-
pletely deserted and only
under Turkish rule was an
attempt made to develop it.
The ancient site of Eilat
with remains from the Na-
batean, Roman, Byzantine,
and medieval periods has
been located north of Ak-
aba.

The Eilat airfield, situ-
ated just east of the city,
was enlarged, and about a
dozen daily flights today
connect Eilat with Tel Aviv
and Jerusalem.
The first 16-inch oil pipe-
line connecting Eilat with
Haifa was laid in 1958-59.
Work on the large 42-inch
pipeline from Eilat to Ash-
kelon began in 1968 and was
finished in 1970. A decisive
factor in Eilat's economic
life says the Judaica, is the
Timna Copper Works,
which in 1968 employed
1,000 workers, nearly all
residing in Eilat. Tourism
and recreation constitute
one of the major branches in
Eilat's economy.
The ox is proud when
among others; the lion when
among beasts of prey; the
eagle when among birds;
but man is proud of being
lord over all.
