Taba, Border resort town in South Sinai Governorate, Egypt.
Located at the northern tip of Gulf of Aqaba, Taba extends between coastal mountains and water frontage at 12 meters above sea level.
The Taba Crisis of 1906 emerged when the Ottoman Empire established a military post, leading to confrontations with British naval forces.
The town functions as a connection point between Egypt and Israel, allowing travelers from both nations to experience Red Sea activities.
Visitors can access Taba through its international airport, which receives charter flights from European countries and connects to local transportation networks.
The protected areas around Taba contain geological formations that provide habitat for numerous desert species including mammals, birds, and reptiles.
