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. As well as being a good area from which to discover some fascinating historical sites - from the pyramids in Cairo and the Coloured Canyon of Petra in Jordan - it also has excellent diving, snorkelling and watersports. Taba offers outstanding value for money for a winter holiday.
