Eilat will host its ninth annual Spring Migration Festival, which will take place from March 15-22, 2015, and the second annual Champions of the Flyway Birdathon on March 25, 2014. The Spring Migration Festival offers bird watchers the opportunity to observe the awe-inspiring sight of Israel’s skies filling up with more than 500 million birds, migrating northward. The weeklong festival includes day and night birding tours to all the best sites in southern Israel, many bird-related activities, presentations, talks and more. The Champions of the Flyway will welcome international teams to compete to spot the most number of bird species within 24 hours.
“Organized by the Israel Ornithological Center of the SPNI, the Eilat Birds Festival brings together birders from the world over for an unforgettable birding week during the peak of spring migration in southern Israel. Celebrating our 9th year, the Eilat Festival is now a well-established event and known in birder circles as the ultimate package for birding Southern Israel available today.
The 2014 festival was an incredible week! Our 8th Eilat Festival was our biggest to date and drew a great crowd that ranged from birding professionals of the highest level to amateur birders, both from abroad and from Israel. This year we launched the first ever “Champions of the Flyway” a unique bird race for conservation in conjunction with Birdlife International. The Champions will become an annual project, tied in with the Eilat Birds Festival, in order to celebrate migration in Eilat and raise money for campaigns against the illegal slaughter of birds on migration.
The Eilat Festival and Champions of the Flyway event were widely acknowledged worldwide and caused a strong, positive “buzz” around Eilat in spring 2014.
The week was an awesome week of birding, combining incredible soaring birds migration and a great show of local specialties. Some significant birds showed up during the week and rarities such as: Pied Bushchat, Black Bush Robin and Caspian Plovers were all seen by festival groups.
The Stars of the night, the enigmatic Hume’s Owls put on a show and the Nizzana day was memorable with displaying Macqueen’s Bustards, 4 species of Sandgrouse and many Coursers.
Preparations are already in full swing towards the 2015 event.
The 9th Eilat Birds Festival is scheduled for the 15-22 March 2015.”

Dick Reilly’s unique background as a missionary in India, director of a mission society for 16 years, pastor, evangelist and a Youth for Christ leader, brought unusual insight into the ways and means of successful group travel. Though Dick Reilly has passed on, his Christian philosophy used in establishing Maranatha Tours lives on. Dick’s son, Michael, as President of Fellowship Tours for 16 years, managed one of the largest tour operations for Christian group travel in the United States and has been President of Maranatha since it’s opening. We are family owned and have his son, Greg in sales, daughter Jennifer handling all our operations. You will be very pleased with our staff’s professionalism and our concern for each detail.
