We're thinking about going to Israel (for the first time) in the spring of next year (2007). It looks like we could probably go in June, although there is a possibility of April or May. I'm wondering if June would be too hot or if it is still an okay time to travel there. We would be travelling to different parts of the country, including possibly to Eilat.

That leads to my other question. I'm curious about Eilat and thinking about whether we should include it or not. Is it just a beach/resort or is there more to see and do there? Thanks so much.
