Taba Sinai
On the border with Israel, Taba was only returned to Egypt in 1989 after international intervention. Egypt was determined to reclaim all its land from Israel and the dispute over this area lasted for seven years after the rest of Sinai had been recovered.
There are a few restaurants, cafes, and a hotel at Taba, but most visitors are just crossing between the two countries.
The 70-km (43-mile) stretch between Taba and Nuweiba has been dubbed “The Egyptian Riviera” by the government. It is a priority development area with many hotels and resorts currently under construction.
If you are leaving Egypt at Taba, note that an Israeli stamp in your passport means that entry into some Arab countries, notably Lebanon and Syria, will be denied. Ask to have a separate piece of paper stamped.
