Planning your Taba tour

Does the Pharaoh’s Island trip include fortress entry?
The snorkeling itinerary focuses on the island’s surrounding reefs and fortress views. Any landing or fortress admission must be confirmed with your package.
Do all activities take place in Taba?
Some trips include a longer road journey. The glass-bottom boat reference operates in Sharm El Sheikh, Cairo flights use Sharm Airport, and Wishwashi Canyon is near Nuweiba. Quad stations need confirmation before you choose a departure.
Are Petra and Jerusalem trips available every day?
These pages describe proposed itineraries, not confirmed departures. Petra needs an operating ferry and confirmed entry arrangements. Jerusalem and the Dead Sea require an operating border route and accepted travel documents. Request a dated quote before planning around either trip.
What do the starting prices cover?
Rates are adult starting estimates based on selected published references. The glass-boat figure covers the activity estimate only; Taba transfers are quoted separately. Read each page for admissions, meals, transport and extras. An enquiry does not reserve a place.
