Get ready for a desert adventure on holidays to Taba with gentle snorkels in coral reefs and high-octane 4x4 safaris.

The rugged South Sinai Peninsula rises above Egypt's quiet Taba resort right next to Israel's border. From here, it's as easy to descend into the blue Gulf of Aqaba waters as it is to camel trek through the dunes of Bedouin country.

Best of Taba holidays for...

  • Active types: Witness the bizarre natural rock structures on a hike through the Coloured Canyon. The 800m wadi is the height of a 16-storey building!
  • Relaxing: Don your mask and fins and take a dip with turtles and dolphins at the crystal-clear Ras Amira dive site, just off Taba.
  • Romance: A desert expedition for two can double up as a heart-racing first date. You'll go gooey when you see Mount Sinai glow red at sunset and stars appear in the clear desert sky.
