Guide to Taba Heights

"Shimmering seas, immaculate sands and a setting hardly touched by time or tourism – Taba Heights is a Red Sea oasis."

How's this for a holiday? A heart-lurchingly beautiful setting under the gaze of timeless Sinai mountains. A gold-dust beach caressed by a translucent sea. And the kind of holiday mood that lets you do your own thing, however long it takes. That's a snapshot of life at this purpose-built complex, where five luxurious hotels are embedded like jewels along a perfect-looking slice of Sinai coast. OK, a few enticing diversions await - just in case your sand and sea idyll needs an injection of variety. The prospect of witnessing the canyon-carved city of Petra might spur you into action, as might a camel or quad safari into the rugged Sinai desert. Or how about a round on the spanking new golf course or meandering around the monuments in Cairo or Luxor? All this apart, you'd be mad not to allocate every remaining minute to the beach and sea. Bid a temporary farewell to your sunbed to cruise with giant turtles and vast explosions of luminously coloured fish over exotic coral reefs. Or paddle a canoe into the unbroken silence of an empty, ancient bay to sense ages past. Come nightfall, enjoy a meal on a sand-sprinkled terrace or head for the casino or one of the bars on the complex. Or take the soft option and stroll along the beach as the sun melts below the crimson-tinged Sinai mountains beyond.
