Trip to Eilat

Question

Hello, I wanted to know if there is an issue with going to Eilat with the institution where I work, while I am not obligated to go with them, but they would be happy if I join them. It is for a short time — two days, and then to return immediately.

Answer

Hello 

Eilat is considered abroad for all its laws. 

One should not leave the country except for the purpose of a mitzvah or for livelihood.
