By foot, car or boat.

Taba is a small treasure near the tip of the Gulf of Aqaba and the most northerly resort in the Red Sea Riviera.  Set against ancient mountain ranges, this magnificent Egypt holiday destination lies at the crossroads of three continents, overlooking Jordan, Israel and Saudi Arabia.  It is a vibrant International border crossing as well as a relaxed and inspiring location for an Egypt family holiday or those in search of a holiday to Egypt that is quieter and more leisurely.

Taba is an ideal base for exploring the sights of the region such as Petra, Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, St Catherine's Monastery or Mount Sinai, all of which can be visited on day trips. In less than an hour, you can cross from the stark wilderness of Sinai to the luxury of Eilat or take a ferry to Aqaba in Jordan.  

Those who enjoy breathtaking scenery steeped in rich history should not miss Pharaoh’s Island. Also called Coral Island or Geziret Faroun, it lies just south of Taba and was a Crusader fortress which Sultan Salah El Din (Saladin) captured in the 12th Century.   Today you can follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia and explore the fully renovated mediaeval fortress in all its glory.

Taba’s coastline features some of the most idyllic and unspoilt beaches, bays, lagoons and dive sites against a backdrop of untamed desert and the mysterious and impressive cinnamon mountains where you can spend some time at a Bedouin camp. If you want your Egypt holiday package to be more active, Taba can offer quad biking, camel trekking and jeep safaris to explore the amazing landscape, while the Taba Heights development is home to an 18-hole championship golf course.
