In Taba there is a wide array of watersports and sea-related excursions to satisfy every taste. Taba beach resorts and camps offer water-skiing, windsurfing, glass bottom boats, Hobie cats, snorkelling, parasailing, canoeing, paddleboating and, of course, the top of all Red Sea activities: superb scuba diving. Sailing on the “Henry de Monfreid", a replica of a 19th century sailing boat, is one of the nicest excursions you can experience in the area. Just imagine to set sail on the azure waters of the Red Sea of an historical sailing boat, to reach pristine islands and coves and snorkel in uncrowded sites. A favourite day snorkelling excursion is the one to the fascinating Pharaoh’s island, a tiny island just off the coast reachable by boat. Here, visitors can enjoy the views of the ancient Ottoman fortress, and swim and snorkel in the impressive coral barrier around the island. Most beaches in Taba are sandy and have easy access, making them perfect for board sports enthusiasts. Prevailing winds are strong enough to ensure some exciting windsurfing. Local watersports centres are geared up to offer courses and equipment rental of the best brands. |
