Eilot (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />אֵילוֹת) is the southernmost kibbutz in Israel, located in the Aravah valley, near the border with Jordan and less than a kilometer north of Eilat and just over 3 kilometers north of the Red Sea.
It was established in 1963 and named for a verse in the I Kings 9:26: "And King Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom." (9:26). The Eloth mentioned in the verse is likely close to the present-day location of Kibbutz Eilot.
The kibbutz has about 80 members and a total population of 331. It is most noted for its date orchard, though vegetables, other fruits, fishing and tourism are a major industries.
