The coast that stretches south of the town of Taba is one of the most picturesque parts of the Red Sea Riviera. The dramatic mountains of the Sinai peninsula run down to quiet, unspoilt beaches with views across the Gulf of Aqaba to Jordan: you'll find it an idyllic place to soak up the Egyptian sunshine. The resort itself is fairly small, but the top class hotels strung along the coast have plenty of facilities to keep you occupied and entertained. Taba lies to the northern end of the Sinai Peninsula almost in Israel. This part of the Red Sea Riviera is where the rugged mountains reach the golden beaches. You can look across to Jordan on the other side of the gulf of Aqaba. The resort is small, but the hotels have lots of facilities. Excursions include Petra, the Coloured Canyon and even Cairo by air. Diving snorkelling and watersports are all good. TABA gives its name to the stretch of coastline from the Israeli border southwards, and is one of the most picturesque on the Red Sea.
