Where is the best service?
Need advice on where to go - to Taba or Sharm el-Sheikh? I wanted to visit Taba because of its proximity to Israel and Jordan in order to visit these countries at the same time. I read reviews that in Taba now the prices for excursions are higher than in Sharm, and the infrastructure and service are worse. I don’t know what to do. Help me make the right choice! Thank you in advance.

In fact, people go to Taba only because of Petra in Jordan, basically.
There are only a few hotels, there is no external infrastructure ...
Sharm is amazing...

The choice should be made from those considerations that you are more interested in on vacation.
Both in Sharm and Taba there are good hotels, beautiful and with good service, food, but outside of Taba hotels there is nothing to do at all. If you are a lover of entertainment and coral reefs, then Sharm is better.
Of course, Israel and Jordan are closer from Taba, and it’s a long drive from Sharm. But if you have a flight to Sharm airport, and not to an airport. Taba, you still have to drive from Sharm to Taba (2-3 hours), and after the flight a bit tiring. So take a direct flight to Taba.
If you go to Sharm, then take the Jordan-Jerusalem tour together so that you don’t have to travel back and forth.
We traveled from Sharm to Jerusalem for 180 dollars, tourists from another hotel (also from Sharm) for 220 dollars, and we all rode in the same bus. The girl who sat down with us in Taba paid like we did.
In my opinion, because of one excursion to Taba, it makes no sense to go, because you will spend 1-2 days on it, and the rest of the time you will have to stay at the hotel without getting out.

This is the problem of OUR in Taba. For some reason, it is believed that they go there for the sake of these excursions.
No. Taba is one of the newest resorts in Egypt. World networks - Hilton, Hyatt, Radisson, Marriott, Intercontinental. Really they invested hundreds of millions of dollars in order to be a rooming house for sightseers. No, this is a resort for a calm, comfortable beach holiday on one of the best seas in the world, on one of the best beaches in Egypt.

As far as I know, Taba is a relatively new resort, and accordingly the infrastructure is not as well developed as in Sharm, although it is really close to Israel and Jordan. Well, Sharm has everything your heart desires, but if you are interested in excursions, then it’s far away. Choose what you like and have a good journey!!!

Taba is a new resort! But there are wonderful hotels, global chains! Yes, from there it is closer to Jordan, Israel.
Sharm is a well-known resort where the infrastructure is at the highest level, everything is there and there =) The service in both Sharm and Taba is good, but Taba is a resort for people who are looking for true peace and comfort. It's up to you!

I want to disagree with HotLine. Yesterday we returned from Taba. This is such a difference with Charm!!! Much worse. I was in Egypt for the 12th time, but it was the worst. And not because of the hotel or the staff. So far, there is still not so much equipped that it is simply impossible to do everything better. It’s elementary that you need to travel far for deliveries of products every day, because. there is nobody and nothing close, so there are few products, they are not fresh and hotels save on almost everything !!! The queues are terrible, specially made to save money, because not everyone will go into it to stand for so long and in the heat. The same is true in restaurants. Almost everyone has problems with the intestines, which has never happened in Sharm and Hurghada, and so on. And the hotels are really new and beautiful, although there is little greenery, because. hasn't grown up yet. The sea is cool, the corals are right next to the shore. But that's not it. Excursion to Israel 190 USD. Bargaining is useless - there is no competition, so prices for everything! about 3 times higher.
There is nowhere to go, you are in the hotel prison until the end of the holiday. Doctor in the room 60 euros. I did not like. Better go to Sharm.

A week ago I returned from Taba, Movenpick Hotel. You can't imagine a better holiday... the service is excellent, the food too...
I read reviews and am horrified ... where did they see queues in TAB? And what happened to the stomachs??? We didn't have such problems... Maybe you chose the wrong hotel? Go to MOVENPIK - you won't regret it

If you need good service - this is Charm. In addition to the fact that excursions in Taba are much more expensive than in Sharm and Hurghada, Taba is 12 hotels

(continued) Taba is 12 hotels and a desert. Taba is by no means Egypt with its color and people. I have just returned from Taba. I was in Egypt for the eighth time, in Taba - for the first time. Never ever.

We returned from Taba 2 weeks ago and every time we fall in love with it again! The Intercontinental Hotel is a super vacation and complete relaxation, without all this fuss and our compatriots always hungry and drunk, there is really complete relaxation! In October we plan to go there again!

To be honest, I like Taba more, in Sharm there has been a conveyor for a long time: a glued smile, a lot of people, fun and that's it, and Taba is only developing, hotels are cheaper, the view from the window is better (4 countries can be seen, especially at night - stunned, and they follow you, like a sheikh; there are few of us, corals right on the beach - grace ...

When you go to Taba, read the reviews very carefully, otherwise you will end up like us in Sonesta Beach 5 * and your vacation will be ruined in full. I have never seen such a nightmare in any hotel in Egypt. I can send pictures if someone does not believe in the queue. [email protected]
