Although Taba is among the few newest resort developments on the Red Sea Riviera, it has been a popular diving site since many years, attracting international divers and vacationers from across the world. Until recently the haunt of independent travelers, Taba has developed as a resort town in the past couple of years to welcome not just Egyptians and Israelis, but also hoards of African, European, American, Australian, and British holidaymakers.
Taba is a place of great natural beauty, and is also revered for its amazing tourist amenities. While beaches are exciting and support a number of fun activities like kite surfing, paragliding, scuba diving, and range of water sports, lodging offers an experience of its own. Courtesy the Egyptian Riviera resorts project, Taba houses some of the finest resorts and hotels in Egypt. Luxurious, extravagant and utterly fantastic, beachfront resorts in Taba boast some of the biggest names in international hotel chains: Hilton, Mövenpick, Radisson, Hyatt Regency, Marriott, Sofitel, Intercontinental and Three Corners (the latter 5 part of the Taba Heights resorts).
Nestled along the foothills of the Sinai Mountains and overlooking the Red Sea, often styled like bohemian Bedouin villages and some having exceedingly sophisticated architecture, Taba resorts are famed for their one-of-a-kind luxury accommodation, water sport facilities, organized excursions and tour activities, wonderful restaurants, bars, and entertainment programs. Superb customer service and staff friendliness are characteristic Egyptian, making the whole stay an unforgettable experience.
If you are traveling on a tight budget however, look past the 5 and 4-star dazzle and you will find plenty inexpensive accommodation, mostly along the beach road and further inland.
