Can anyone help me with the following problem? We prepairing a trip for july for the family; 2 weeks Israel and 1 week Egypt. The last days Israel we spend in Eilat, we will cross the border at Taba. From Taba we want to travel to Sharm el Sheikh. It seems not so easy. Can anyone help? Where can I find a timetable, what problems can we expect. Does anyone know cheap places to stay in Sharm el Sheikh. We want 2 spend 2 days over there then we want to travel to do a short Nile trip and our final destination to fly back to Amsterdam is Cairo. I would appreciate your help.

Is there a coral reef at the Radisson SAS Resort in Taba?

Hi there - Great pages !! Im off to Taba in a couple of weeks, staying also at the Marriott and very excited about seeing Dolphin Reef - can you please advise if this was an excursion from the Marriott and how much it cost ?
Many thanks

In crossing from Israel back into Egypt, do I still need to fill out forms etc? Will my multiple entry visa be enough?

Hi

we are to be visiting Taba in September and I've already got some very good advice from people on the site on what to do out there.

I know we don't need a visa for the Taba area, but if we want to veture south to <Damn forgot the names of the places! One was norweiba or something like that!> would we need a visa?

My original thoughts were that we didn't need a visa for the whole of the region, but now I'm not so sure.

Thanks
Andy

Hi

I, my girlfriend and our 3 year old daughter are travelling to Taba in September. I would like to try Scuba Diving, but I don't know whether to buy the gear here (UK) or when I get there. What are the prices like in the shops out there?

I am also looking to get a new camera, again, would it pay to get it over there or here?

I don't really have any idea about the area. Am I right in thinking there's more to do in Dahab? There certainly seems to be more reviews of things in Dahab on this site.

Thanks in advance

Thinking of going to Taba in September and staying at the Marriott (or any that I can find a good deal).

1. Is the Marriott a good choice ??

2. We plan to go to Petra whilst there. Any idea about the options (and cost) open to us getting there? I dont fancy sitting on a coach with a load of sweaty tourists for 4 hours, but equally, it may not be feasible (or safe) to make our own way there, whether that be by private guide, taxi, hire car etc etc

Thanks

i am interested to go to el cairo. my 8 yeard old girl wants to see the museum and the pyramids. I understand that arranged trips are quite expensive. We will be staying at the Nelson Village and I am new to the area. Do you know any small tour operators that arrange this kind of trip? And also, do you know any shops where we can purchase water from. we are just half board. Many thanks.

We're going to Taba, i was wondering do we need an extra visa to go to eilat? Do we have to get it before we go or can we get it whilst we're out there? Any help? Thanks Fay

Having read about trips to Petra and Wadi Rum based on one hour ferry from Taba to Aqaba then take further transportation, in general terms how often does the ferry go from Taba to Aqaba?

Hi, does anyone here know of or have comments about this hotel?

Does anybody know how we can cross the border from Aqaba to Taba? Is there any sea connection or only by land? Any buses aor any private cars, taxi arrangements that can be done on the spot? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone advise the price of a loal taxi from Taba Airport to the Sonesta Beach Resort

Does anybody know the layout of the hotels in Taba ie. which order do they run in along the coast? I am going to the Sofitel in June (which I think is located between the Marriott & Hyatt) but wanted to know which other hotels are nearby...

Thanks

I am holidaying in Taba, Egypt, with my girlfriend and her 7 year old daughter at Christmas, arriving in Taba on 16 December, returning home on 29 December. We would like to do more than stay at the hotel and laze around. We're interested in visiting Eilat, Petra and/or Aqaba. Given the short time available what would be a good itinerary taking in some or all of these cities?

Is it cheap and easy to travel between these places?

Can we purchase visas at the borders as we travel?

Is it easy to find cheap accommodation/hostels on arrival in these cities or should we book in advance?

All tips gratefully received.

Could someone tell us the price for using the internet at the Holiday Inn, Taba?
Thanking you very much in advance.

With lots of kind regards

we are going to the hyatt in jan, does anyone know what the sea and air temps are likely to be? We are very keen snorkelers so are likely to be in the sea alot. will we need wetsuits and if so will medium weight be enough, we won't be diving thanks Linda

I will be staying at the Holiday Inn Resort Hotel, Taba for 1 week in Nov 05. There seems to be very little information on the net about this hotel. I don't normally stay in large hotels, but I got such a fantastic deal I couldn't turn it down. Could anybody out there give me some info. Hope to see some of the surrounding area and do lots of snorkelling and photography etc. Any useful tips would be much appreciated. Also, are jeans ok to wear in these hotels, in the restaurants etc.

Hi - has anyone been to the Hilton recently? i went a few years back but am wondering how renovations are going since the bombing last year. Also can anyone tell me if you are still exempt from Israeli exit tax if staying at the Hilton?

Hi,
My wife and I will be travelling to Taba in July 06, apart from diving snorkeling what else should we see and do. I have a daughter 15 and 2 sons 13 and 6 and would like them to have an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Hi Everyone,

My friend and I are looking to visit Taba in November. We were hoping do some diving; see the pyramids and also do Nile cruises for a day. How accessible are these excursions/tours from Taba? Any recommendations?

Cheers
