Lounge On The Pristine Beach In 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.
So, how do you get to Taba? Getting there is easy. The international airport in Taba now hosts direct flights from some European cities. Daily buses run between Suez, Sharm el-Sheikh, Nuweiba, and Dahab. Not up for a bus ride? Then take one of the many taxis from Sharm, Dahab, Nuweiba or Tarabeen. Don’t worry about the price of the taxi, because it is about the same as the bus fare.
You can enjoy 14 days of travel to Taba visa-free. This is thanks to an agreement between Israel and Egypt. You are required to cross at the Taba-Eilat border, and can travel south all the way to Sharm el-Sheikh, enjoying St. Catherine, Nuweiba and Dahab along the way.
Accommodation options in the area are limited. You can of course stay in the Hilton, and as far as Hiltons go the prices are quite reasonable (they have a casino too), or you can sleep under the stars in the beach camp a few kilometers out of town. Full board is available if all you want to do is eat, sleep and drink.
If you seek adventure, you should go to Colored Canyon, located 50km from Taba. The name says it all in the colorful canyon, with its spectacular views. 15km south of Taba is a beautiful Fjord that was nature’s gift to snorkelers. The pristine waters are the home to beautiful views and spectacular coral reefs.
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.
