Travel Tips

Located in the northern region, Taba Egypt rests along the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea. Bordering Israel, it is the perfect weekend getaway for residents and visitors of both Egypt and Israel.

A couple of years ago you wouldn’t have found much here except the opulent Hilton and the bus stop, but development is slowly arriving in Taba, and there are at least quite a number of cafes in town. Twenty kilometers south of Taba the new development of Taba Heights also signifies that development money is slowly starting to siphon into the area. Taba Heights has a number of expensive hotels, and the diving industry in the area is growing rapidly. Numerous diving courses are available. From Taba Heights you can take a ferry to Aqaba in Jordan (frequent), but this option is only open to tourists who are part of a tour group.

You can travel to Taba visa-free for as many as 14 days, thanks to an agreement signed by the governments of Egypt and Israel. In order to take advantage of this agreement, a crossing at the Eilat-Taba border is required. The visa-free zone covers travel as far south as Sharm el-Sheikh, and you can also enjoy St. Catherine, Dahab and Nuweiba.

Taba Egypt has plenty of things to do and see while you are there. The clear, unpolluted waters of the Gulf of Aqaba contain sea life that is second to none around the globe. You can enjoy a few hours at the beach, and then meander through the cafes and shops after a beach side lunch.

For those who enjoy adventure, Colored Canyon is just 50km away from Taba. Aptly named, Colored Canyon is an explosion of colors and unforgettable views. Just 15kim to the south, is a spectacular Fjord, perfect for snorkeling. These protected waters provide wonderful scenery and coral reefs that you will never forget.

Do not forget to step out at night after a busy day of lounging on the beach. Taba Egypt offers fine dining at its best. Or you might want to avoid the spotlight and settle for a romantic night on the beach, while enjoying a nice cocktail. If you are feeling lucky, you might want to stroll over to the casino for a roll of the dice. Taba Egypt is the perfect choice for a quick weekend trip, or a relaxing week away from home and work. Do not miss it.
