Taba, Egypt pics from our holiday


Arrived at Taba airport at 1am and it was 27 degree's nice and warm then , checked into our bungalow and got a few hours sleep.

Sunday the temperate was around 42 degree's and set to get hotter for the rest of the week, but we think it cooled down to high 30's although our last day was very hot in the low 40's.

Very impressed with the hotel, it was very clean, food was very good, as well as the hotel restaurant they had three other restaurants, Chinese, seafood and a Lebanese, a set menu at these was included within our package or you can pay for an al la carte menu (we did for the chinese and it only cost us £23 for three courses including duck ) the staff at the hotel were excellent, very polite and helpful.

We also went snorkeling, and saw loads of fish, you could stand up to your knees or waist in the water and the fish would swim right up to you at one point we had over 200 fish around us we also did an introductory scuba dive which was amazing, saw loads of fish and an octopus!!

Thanks Alex, the resort was stunning and very good value as well.

Angie the heat was almost unbearable, but nice when there was a breeze on the beach. We used high factor sunscreen and kept mostly out of the direct sun. although my other half did spend about 15 mins snorkelling without any protection on his back and got sunburnt, luckily this was our last day and we used a gel called afterburn which was fantastic.

Re: Taba, Egypt pics from our holiday


Fantastic photos Emma, it does look a lovely place.......did you take any of the outside of your bungalow? Just interested what they were like..

It looks very roomy there, not many people around, although it is there quieter season due to the excessive heat isn't it...

Did you get up the courage to have a ride on the camel?
