Taba
Taba gives its name to the stretch of coastline from the Israeli
border southwards, and is one of the most picturesque regions on
the Red
Sea. The town of Taba has few facilities, making for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. Taba makes a great
base for exploring the entire region, as many sights are easy to
reach
from here.
Taba's virtually untouched reefs and dramatic desertscapes also make the area perfect for activities in the water and on land, including snorkelling and quad biking.

Taba Heights
Enjoying a spectacular outlook, with the mountains looming directly behind the resort, Taba Heights is one of the most exciting tourism developments on
the Red Sea, with a newly-opened 18-hole US championship
golf course and a marina, and plans for a casino. It’s a peaceful
location, perfect for a relaxing break on the beautiful shores
of
the Gulf of Aqaba.
Taba Heights has a small village centre located near the El Wekala hotel, where there are several shops and bars. The resort operates a 'dine-around' scheme, which allows guests staying on half board or full board basis to sample a variety of different restaurants around the resort, where they receive a set amount of credit towards their meal.
A free shuttle bus operates regularly around Taba Heights, stopping at the hotels, dive centre and village centre.

About an hour south of Taba, Nuweiba is a small, peaceful resort
and port with a laid back atmosphere. The shallow reefs around Nuweiba are ideal for snorkelling, while there are good dive sites to the north and south of the resort.
Nuweiba town, accessible by taxi from the hotels, features bazaars and shops and a taste of local life.
The area has been inhabited by local Bedouin for many years, and many still live there today - offering opportunities to gain an insight into their unique way of life.

Dahab
Stretches of wondrous glimmering beaches give this resort its name, meaning 'gold' in Arabic. Having established itself as
a
hippie village in the 70's, Dahab now has a laid-back, relaxed
atmosphere, perfect for those wishing to escape the crowds. Great
beaches, many water sporting opportunities and a mile long promenade of shops and cafes overlooking the Red Sea give Dahab a uniquely bohemian atmosphere.
Divers will be attracted to the famed Blue Hole dive site and the opportunity to experience unique camel diving safaris.
