Taba goes back centuries to when it was an important stop on the caravan route from Aquaba to Egypt. The hotel sits right on the shore of the Gulf of Aquaba against the rugged backdrop of the Sinai mountains. Across the Gulf you can see the lights of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel shimmer as the sun sets behind the mountains. Just 60km from Taba International Airport is the hotel, a veritable oasis surrounded by lush landscape having its own private sand beach, swimming pool, various restaurants and 440 modern and fully equipped rooms each with a private balcony or terrace.
