Things To Do

A peaceful location in a secluded peninsula makes for a relaxing day on the beach at Taba Heights, with the stunning mountain backdrop, white sands and azure blue waters creating an idyllic scene.

 

Taba Heights diving holidays feature wonderful scuba-diving conditions, and allow access to a host of dive sites. Visiting the area means a great opportunity to explore the beauty of the Red Sea, with dives suitable for all levels, from first-timers to experts. Although the dives aren't as dramatic as those at Sharm El Sheikh, popular sites nearby include the Aquarium, the Fjord, Pharaoh's Island and Coral City.

 

Not just for divers, activity holidays in Taba Heights can also mean fantastic snorkelling - ideal for all the family, and the easiest way to experience the spectacular underwater landscape, from its unspoilt coral reefs and gardens, to its colourful marine life including sting rays, moray eels, seahorses and the unusual frogfish.

 

A well-equipped water sports centre offers pedalos, banana boats, doughnut rides, windsurfing, water skiing, sailing, wakeboarding and parasailing for active guests, and there are fishing trips, glass-bottomed boat rides and semi-submarine excursions available.

 

Taba Heights is home to an 18-hole championship golf course, with lovely views, enabling players to enjoy a scenic round in the Egyptian sunshine. The well-equipped hotels also offer facilities for swimming, tennis, fitness and exercise classes.

 

The new development hosts a varied entertainment programme for guests, with nightly events, from dances, shows, music performances, childrens' events and clubs, to street festivals and an all-night casino.

 

Desert trips are popular on any sightseeing holiday to Egypt, and offer an unforgettable experience, from sunrise camel treks and horse riding tours at sunset, to exciting jeep safaris and quad bike rides across the dunes, and colourful Bedouin evenings under the stars. 

 

The border town of Taba is next door, and nearby Newuiba and Dahab are easily reached from Taba Heights. Day trips include St. Catherine's Monastery in Mount Sinai and the Coloured Canyon, with other destinations including Luxor, Cairo and Alexandria, as well as Aswan, Petra in Jordan, and Eilat and Jerusalem in Israel.
