Take A Trip To Taba, Egypt
If you are traveling between Israel and Egypt, near the northernmost tip of the Gulf of Aqaba you will run into the small town of Taba Egypt. It is an important border post between these two former arch enemies, and thus a favorite spot for travelers between the countries to overnight. The area forms part of the Red Sea Riviera in Egypt.
If you came this way a number of years ago, all you would have seen was an upmarket hotel with a casino, and a bus stop so you could get out again. During the past couple of years development has started to creep into the area, and you will see signs of this everywhere in Taba and the surrounding area. At Taba Heights a few kilometers from town there are a few high-priced hotels, and diving lessons are advertized all over town. The weather and the water is of course perfect for diving. There are frequent ferries sailing from Taba Heights to Aqaba in Jordan, but you can only go that way if you are on an organized tour.
People who head to Taba typically do so because they would like to try their luck at the casino. This impressive structure boasts 76 machines and 19 table games. There is something for everyone if you like to wind down your nights trying to win big.
Gambling can be fun, but what beats diving deep down in the sea? The next stop on the tour of Taba is the Red Sea Water World: Taba Heights. This location is one of only 5 diving locations in Egypt and allows people to experience the thrill of diving into the beautiful Red Sea.
When you are done with the bottom of the sea, you might head for the mountains. Nestled in the mountainous terrain of northern Egypt, 40km from Taba, sits the Castle Zaman. This incredibly massive man made structure is one of the areas most popular places. Apart from allowing people to see a real castle, the location also offers lodging and slow cooked food. The only downside is that it is not recommended for children.
Nightlife is fun and exciting in Taba. You can enjoy a delicious meal in one of the spectacular restaurants of Taba, or enjoy a cocktail with that special someone on the beach. If Lady Luck is on your side, you might even want to play a few hands at the casino. Looking for a relaxing vacation, or just a short weekend trip to get away from it all? Taba Egypt is the perfect choice.
