Eilat is a duty-free center, making it almost impossible to leave without shopping, as everything is much cheaper here. For example, prices for designer clothes are 17% lower than in New York or Paris.
The best place to buy souvenirs is the market on the seafront and the shopping centers of the city. Shopping is recommended at the Mall Ha'Yam and Big Eilat.
Many high-end hotels have boutiques and galleries on the premises.
The main souvenir of these places is jewelry and other items made of blue-green malachite, also called the stone of Eilat.
