for a treat: in August, a wind tunnel was installed on top of the Ice Mall roof. A flow of air reaching 200 km/h is pumped into this tube-shaped structure, propelling visitors off the ground, instantly turning them into Superman as they levitate in the air. It’s a unique experience, akin to what skydiving may feel like. Suitable for children aged 4 and over. An instructor is there to guide visitors every step of the way. Special equipment and vests are provided to ensure maximum safety. The ride may be short - a mere 2 minutes – but they’re 2 minutes of pure, unadulterated exhilaration.

Since flyboards have their own buoyancy and therefore float on the water, the rider

The activity is suitable for children aged 8 and over (for kids under, an instructor will need to be present at all times) and riders need to wear life vests. Some say there’s no extreme sports experience like it in Israel, and it is indeed truly exceptional. The ride lasts 20 minutes. (NIS 350-390).

What to do The Selfie Museum

How about taking a selfie in a yellow tub, or perhaps on a romantic flowery swing, or behind prison bars, or rather in a bright red sports car? In recent years, selfie museums have sprouted everywhere across the globe, Eilat included. The city’s very own shrine to selfie culture, Dream Pics, was inaugurated this year at the Ice Mall fantasy and advanced technologies complex, boasting more than 20 different virtual settings and wallpapers to choose from. The museum is among the most cutting edge of its kind, drawing fans of the genre by the droves, all eager to dive into selfie fantasy land, even for but a moment. (NIS 50 per person for up to 45 minutes). funtasy.co.il/dreampic FlyXpress Fans of extreme sensations are in
