It is a frequent vacation spot for tourists, from Egypt and abroad, especially those from Israel, as a weekend getaway or on their way to other destinations in Egypt. A European tourist said, “Taba is one of the best in Egypt to enjoy the sun, sea, and colourful fish close up. This led the management of Taba Heights—a fully self-sufficient resort town—to launch promotional parties to attract tourists, especially Arabs. Emad El Tarabishy, senior owner representative of Taba Heights Resort, told Daily News Egypt that the occupancy rates during the season of concerts reaches 90% of its open hotels. He complained from lack of promotion by the Tourism Promotion Authority, which neglects the Taba region in its promotional activities.
