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.

Tourism and recreation constitute one of the major branches in Eilat's economy.
