Group day trip \u00b7 Taba, South Sinai<\/div>\n

Sail to an 800-year-old fortress on its own island. Pharaoh’s Island sits about 250 metres off the Taba coast, crowned by the castle the Crusaders built and Saladin took and rebuilt. We cross by boat, walk the walls and towers with a guide, snorkel the reef around the island if you like, then stop above Fjord Bay for the best view on the Gulf of Aqaba on the way home.<\/p>\n
