Taba Heights, Resort town on the Red Sea coast in South Sinai Governorate, Egypt.
Taba Heights is a beach resort along the Gulf of Aqaba coast where desert mountains meet deep blue waters. The development spreads across flat terrain with hotels, restaurants, and outdoor areas along the shoreline.
The resort was founded in the late 1990s as part of a broader plan to develop tourism in the Sinai Peninsula. The project grew from efforts to open the region to international visitors.
The town shows Egyptian cooking styles and local crafts in its shops and dining venues, where visitors can see artisans at work. Staff members share knowledge about the region, making it easy to learn about local traditions firsthand.
The nearby Taba Airport connects the location with international destinations, and most visitors book package deals that include airport transfers. The layout is flat and easy to walk around, but bring comfortable shoes and sun protection.
From certain spots in the resort, you can see the coastlines of four countries at once: Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. This geographic rarity makes the place special for those interested in borders and how different nations meet.
