The Sinai Coast runs from Sharm el Sheikh at its southern tip to Taba at its northern extreme. The Sinai region, home to such diverse resorts as Dahab, Taba Heights and Nuweiba, is a spectacular area, with the dramatic Sinai mountain range providing a backdrop to the sparkling waters of the Red Sea.

Why should you visit the Sinai Coast? See what our Resort Manager Martin Sheldon and past customers have to say....

The area is home to a variety of hotels and makes a perfect base for exploring the key sights of nearby Jordan and Israel, as well as Egypt. Day trips available from the region include the awe-inspiring ancient city of Petra, historical Cairo and the eternal city, Jerusalem.

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.

Nuweiba
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.

“Famed for its beautiful yet dramatic barren landscape, the resort of Taba is a meeting of borders, overlooking the countries of Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, giving you the option to explore in all directions.

Nestled between the imposing mountains and the azure waters of the Red Sea, lies the resorts of Taba and Nuweiba. These newly developed resorts offer a little something for everyone, whether it be relaxing on the tranquil golden sandy beaches or discovering ancient worlds and civilizations.

To enhance your appetite, why not take the opportunity to exert your golfing skills on Taba Heights 18 hole championship golf course, with some of the most spectacular and exhilarating views of the sea, sand and mountains. Whether you choose Taba or Nuweiba you can experience various dining options including Italian, Mexican, Thai, Indian and Lebanese, as well as the local middle eastern cuisine.
