Taba is an Egyptian town near the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba.

Taba is the location of Egypt’s busiest border crossing with neighboring Eilat, Israel.

Taba was originally developed as a tourist destination by the Israelis with the first hotel opening there in the 1960s, and today it is a frequent vacation spot for Egyptians and other tourists, especially those from Israel on their way to other destinations in Egypt or as a weekend getaway.

It is the northernmost resort of Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera. In Taba you have the opportunity to try different types of activities: excursions on glass-bottomed boats to observe the seabed, snorkeling, diving, parachuting, and water skiing.

There are numerous dive sites, where the coral reefs take on the most diverse shapes and colors. For lovers of relaxation, Taba has pristine beaches where you can spend moments of peace.
