Taking Some Time Off In Taba, Egypt

If you are considering taking a trip to Egypt, or perhaps one of its close neighbors, you might consider stopping off in Taba. Taba Egypt is perfect for a night or two stay on the leg of a journey, or just to get away for a few days. You can find plenty to do for such a small area. But to get you started, you should consider where you are staying for the night. At the last calculation, there are twelve surrounding hotels in the vicinity, but the highest recommended hotel would be the Hilton Resort.

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.

Lastly, you might take up some clubs and hit the greens of the Three Corners El Wakela Resort. This resort provides a challenging course for golfers of all skill types and maintains a majestic setting from hole one to eighteen. This brief article may not be enough to do Taba, Egypt justice. If you are looking for some really interesting settings for some once in a lifetime experiences, then you should put Taba on your list.
