Coral World Underwater Observatory, located in Eilat just across the border from Taba, offers a unique window into the Red Sea's marine ecosystem. The main attraction is a submerged tower with large glass windows that reveal coral reefs and fish at a depth of 12 meters. Visitors can also see sharks, rays, and sea turtles in open-air pools, and walk through a transparent tunnel surrounded by aquatic life. The complex includes a museum and a simulated shark dive experience, making it a family-friendly destination for learning about marine biology.
