Bordering with three countries, the resort Egyptian town of Taba modestly carries its border guard mission, offering tourists instead of loopholes and embankments picturesque thickets, azure sea surface and lilac mountain ranges, tightened by a haze. This is the place for a quiet family holiday with children: outside the hotel there is no noisy discos and bars.
Closeness to Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia has become the reason of tourist attention to a cozy corner of untouched nature. It is easy and simple to get out of here on an excursion to the monastery of St. Catherine, to Mount Moses, to ancient Petra or to the Israeli city of Eilat.
Especially for the holiday - rest on March 8.

Hotels
Now in the territory of Taba, several fashionable hotels are built, offering high-quality service and comfort. The beaches, bordered by emerald gardens, attract lazy guests, and the unusual coral reefs in the field of visibility cause tremulous shivers to divers. Reefs in no way inferior to the underwater gardens of Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab. All this beauty is located very close to the shore, so that bathers will need special shoes. One of the reefs is considered the most popular in Egypt.
The main contingent of local five-star hotels is the Israelis.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Taba
The main "historical dish" of Taba is the island of Pharaoh .The striking beauty of the island, once a Phoenician port, hides a lot of secrets of the life of the Egyptian sultan Salah El Din (Saladin) .You can make sure of this by visiting the museum, which is open in the fortress daily from 9 .00 to 17 .00 .Do not rush to leave the quiet creek, because with the onset of darkness, the sky over the coast is painted with bright lights to the rhythmic music .Photo frames promise to be unforgettable .Excursion to the island is an ordinary snorkeling on a yacht costing $ 50 per person .
A day, and even more, one can devote to the survey of the Red Sea Riviera, a resort zone on the Sinai Peninsula, which stretches along the Gulf of Aqaba. You can take a taxi.
While in Taba, it is possible to see the monastery of St. Catherine, which is the smallest diocese in the world. The main treat is the church and chapel of the Burning Bush. On holidays all 12 chapels dedicated to the Virgin and patron saints open their doors to guests. It is worth taking care of the proper appearance when visiting the holy place. A jeep ride for $ 45 to the Color Canyon will give pleasure not only to the visual, but also to the extreme.

Diving in Taba
Fans of diving should be flown to the islands of the Pharaohs (7 km from Taba), where sea walks are often arranged. There is a good preserved picturesque fortress, built by the Crusaders in the 12th century. And the reef near the northern extremity of the island is a real "delicacy" for dive-gourmets. Another 8 km from the island of Pharaohs is Fjord Bay, where you can also find a lot of bright dive sites and no less colorful inhabitants of the resort - these places have long been chosen by hippies (obviously, fought off their way to Goa).
There are three dive centers (Aqua Sport, Red Sea Waterworld and Werner Lau), which conduct training courses on PADI standards.
- To drink a cup of coffee with cardamom and sahlab - a liquid rice pudding with fruit, in a small restaurant, which is crowned by one of the mountains of the fjord "Pearl of Sinai" (10 km south of Taba).
- Order a dish of lentils and beans called "falafel" (vegetable fritters) for breakfast in one of the beach bars, before running along the beach.
