Street Scams in Eilat

Souvenir and Jewellery Overpricing

Jewellery shops and souvenir stores in the Eilat shopping areas and near the marina sell Red Sea coral jewellery and Eilat Stone items at prices marketed as exclusive or locally produced. The Eilat Stone (chrysocolla-malachite) is a genuine local mineral but imitation versions in cheaper materials are also sold at prices implying authenticity.
