Sonesta Beach
Resort
Hotel information
|
Taba goes back centuries to
when it was an important
stop on the caravan route
from Aquaba to Egypt. The
hotel sits right on the
shore of the Gulf of Aquaba
against the rugged backdrop
of the Sinai mountains.
Across the Gulf you can see
the lights of Saudi Arabia,
Jordan and Israel shimmer as
the sun sets behind the
mountains. Just 60km from
Taba International Airport
is the hotel, a veritable
oasis surrounded by lush
landscape having its own
private sand beach, swimming
pool, various restaurants
and 440 modern and fully
equipped rooms each with a
private balcony or terrace. |

Sonesta Beach Resort location
On entry into Egypt, you must obtain
a visitors visa at the port of
entry, the fee is £10 (subject to
change). Sharm El Sheikh is
considered a free zone, due to being
located in the Sinai Peninsula.
Travel on excursions outside the
peninsula, the visitor’s visa is a
requirement. We recommend that you
see your Medhotels rep on arrival,
and they will assist you with
obtaining the visa.
