The main attraction of Taba is the island of the Pharaohs. All visiting tourists are eager to visit it. A couple of minutes by boat, and you will see the bay of extraordinary beauty. But this small island is a crusader fortress. Built in the 12th century, it served as a border crossing point. Now it is a museum. With the onset of darkness, a light show is arranged above him.
