This town is the busiest border of Egypt not only because it is adjacent to Israel but because it is becoming a favourite destination for tourists who go on cheap Taba holidays. Taba is usually the gateway of tourists on their way to a weekend holiday to other destination in Egypt. You will realize that travellers from Israel are allowed to cross the border during their cheap Taba holidays without a visa for up to 14 days. This has encouraged more tourists to visit the Aqaba Coast Area of Sinai which includes Dahab and St. Catherine.

Tourists on their Taba cheap holidays will be surprised to learn that a town as small as this is home to luxurious hotels like the Intercontinental, Marriott, Hyatt Regency and Sofitel. You will realize that a great number of tourists who go on Taba cheap holidays come here for the crystal clear free diving sites. Some tourists who are starting out with the hobby opt to learn scuba diving lessons in this scenic town. Others however visit Taba because of the amazing desert-style golf course.

You will discover during your cheap Taba holidays that this Bedouin village holds a magic that will leave with you even when the holiday is over. And despite the lack of any sophisticated infrastructure for transportation other than the recently-upgraded Al Nakb Airport which churns in several charter flights from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Belgium every week, tourists continue to go on cheap Taba holidays whether through the border or through the marina.
