A relaxed and luxurious Red Sea holiday retreat
Taba Heights is the perfect destination for a lazy beach holiday. Its characteristic yet simple Bedouin camps boast unrivalled views of azure seas and picturesque crimson mountains and, further on the horizon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
Lying on the border of Israel and Egypt, Taba Heights is in one of the most breathtaking spots on the Sinai Peninsula and is fast becoming one of the most sought-after holiday destinations on the Red Sea Riviera.
There aren’t many golf courses that offer a view of three countries, but Taba Heights Golf Resort does just that. And if that whets your appetite to go further afield, you can take a boat trip from the marina across the Gulf to neighbouring Jordan and Israel. Lovers of water sports can enjoy windsurfing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, parasailing, canoeing and sailing, or explore the Gulf's extravagant and beautiful marine life through diving and snorkelling. Glass-bottomed boat trips offer the same experience without the need to get wet. The shops in Taba Heights tend to concentrate on snorkelling and beach equipment, but there are also places to buy gifts and souvenirs.
A wide variety of cuisine is available to Taba holiday-makers – practically anything from Tuscan to Oriental cuisine, with plenty of seafood restaurants in between. Food is also served in pubs and grills, and at least one hotel boasts its own splash bar. Night-time entertainment is limited, but there is a 24-hour casino, and nightly programmes featuring local talent and performances by artistes such as Nubian troupes and the Bedouin experience.
