Trips to Ras Abu Gallum, a protected nature reserve are also available and very popular. Other excursions might include a three-day tour to Serabit El Khadem where the turquoise mines and ruins of the temple of the goddess Hathor are located. Taba Ringed by crimson mountains and looking out on azure seas lies the exotic resort of Taba Heights. It is situated in one of the most breathtaking spots in Sinai on the border between Israel and Egypt. It has rapidly become one of the most popular destinations on the Red Sea Riviera. It offers a relaxed yet luxurious retreat. There are remarkable sea views as well as of the surrounding mountains and from here one can also see Jordan and Saudi Arabia across the Gulf of Aqaba. There is a rich variety of cuisine ranging from Tuscan to Middle Eastern and Oriental with a special accent on seafood as you can imagine. There are also bars, special grills, a splash-bar, a swim-up bar, and a 24-hour casino, as well as nightly programs featuring local talents and performances by Nubian and Bedouin troupes. ItÂ’s rare to find a golf course that boasts a view of three different countries especially in a desert location, but Taba Heights Golf Resort does just that. The marina also offers boat trips across the Gulf to neighboring Jordan and Israel. Water sports include windsurfing, water-skiing, parasailing, canoeing, and sailing. The GulfÂ’s extravagantly beautiful marine life naturally makes Taba also a great place for divers or a ride in a glass-bottomed boat.
