Prices for tours to Tabu
You can relax in Taba all year round, but the best time to travel to this Egyptian resort is May and the autumn months. It is worth noting that more expensive tours are being implemented at this time. To purchase more affordable tours, it is worth coming to Taba in winter (with the exception of holidays), when the wind season begins, and in summer (the air heats up to + 40˚ C and above).
On a note!
Since Taba is located near the border zone, you should always have your passport with you. At the resort, you should not take pictures of military objects and administrative buildings, as well as travel around the city outskirts not as part of excursion groups.
It is advisable to swim in special slippers, since corals can be very close to the shore (for vacationers going to Taba with children, it is advisable to carefully choose a hotel, because not all of them have a sandy area for swimming with babies).
Experienced travelers are advised to bring hookahs, basalt figurines, tea, jewelry, papyri, carpets, spices, coffee, oils, cosmetics and perfumes from Taba.
