ABOUT TABA
Taba’s exceptional geographical location between Africa
and Asia at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba facing Arabia made it a stopover on
the caravan route from the fourteenth century onwards. The last part of Sinai to
be handed back to Egypt by Israel in 1989 and now a frontier post, Taba is today
a favourite destination for Israelis and tourists from around the world since
the opening of the international airport
45 km away.
19 km south of Taba.
Taba Heights is a rapidly expanding seaside resort
much prized by the large international hotel chains
for its beaches and exceptional coral reefs. Taba
Heights is a breathtaking year-round resort ideally
situated in one of the most beautiful spots of
Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
In addition to the
traditional activities of tennis or golf, the hotels
provide a wide range of water sports so that
visitors can make the most of what the Red Sea has
to offer – windsurfing, water skiing, sailing, sea
trips, fishing and sea kayaking. The wealth of
things to see on the seabed make it essential to go
equipped with a mask. The shallow depth at which the
reefs lie and the absence of drop-offs make it
possible to enjoy the beauty of life on the coral
reef with the minimum of equipment. The variety of
creatures and the chance to observe endemic species,
such as the toadfish, as well as the well-preserved
state of the reefs are some of the great advantages
of this area.

Numerous diving clubs offer courses and daily
outings. Instructors take divers to the most
suitable sites to dive in complete safety. Outings
last a maximum of an hour and a half, and often much
less. The dive sites feature a sandy seabed dotted
with coral outcrops and contain a rich selection of
marine life from seahorses to dolphins. The absence
of currents makes these sites perfect for beginners,
as well as fulfilling the highest expectations of
photographers and divers of all levels. Among the
best-known sites are the Fjord with its well-like
topography, the Aquarium and its variety of species,
and Mersa el-Muqabila where there is the chance to
spot an eagle ray. For those who find boats a
nuisance, lovely dive sites teeming with marine life
are accessible from shore, such as the House Reef
and Marina Bay, just
two minutes away in a 4x4.
Beyond the Taba Heights hotel complexes lie numerous Bedouin encampments. The Sinai desert belongs to this people who carry on the centuries-old nomadic traditions of rearing livestock and trade. Around 70,000 Bedouins divided into thirty tribes live here as they have done for thousands of years – without running water, electricity, telephone, television – and respecting their elders and clan chiefs who take the important decisions. They are Muslim and speak Arabic, often Hebrew and sometimes English learned from tourists. The Bedouins are the many-faceted soul of this desert world between the wadis and the high plateaus.

5 km southeast of Taba.
Just 250 m from the coast lies a small granite
island surrounded by coral and dominated by the
magnificent Salah el-Din fortress, built by
Crusaders in the twelfth century and recently
restored by the Council of Egyptian Antiquities. The
island, known as Faraum, was a strategic site
towards the end of the twelfth century for Caliph
Saladin who used it as base for soldiers. Form there
he was able to control the trade of foodstuffs
coming from Asia and demand ransoms from pilgrims on
their way to Mecca. From the keep there is a
stunning panoramic view of the coast of Arabia,
Jordan and Israel.
70 km southwest of Taba.
The canyon affords a superb 2-hour excursion through
a maze of sandstone rocks in hues of mauve, yellow,
ochre and pink shading to green and blue. The route
through this amazing landscape follows dried-up
riverbeds. The uneven forms and height of the rocks
sometimes make climbing necessary. Fossils and rock
erosion show that the canyon was once under the sea.
The silence of the stones speaks louder here than
anywhere else.
