Hello, I visited Taba at the Movenpick Hotel and decided to write a review. Let's start with the Taba resort - this is a border zone, the airport in Taba is very small, there is no village like in Sharm and Hurghada - only hotels, and they are scattered along the coast in groups, so there are no cafes, discos, restaurants, like current ones. It takes 40-60 minutes to drive to the coast from the airport, the road is very beautiful - colorful gorges and mountains.
The Movenpick Hotel is located next to the Hilton and Hilton Village hotels. You can use the territory and disco (it’s hard to call it a disco ), hookah, as well as watch animation (there is animation, but very weak 2+) on the territory of three hotels. And all other services on the territory of your hotel. Movenpick, of these three hotels, is the best in terms of beach and territory, and the freshness of the building (and of the Hiltons, the Hilton Village is better). All hotels are located on the border with Israel, which is very convenient for people who are planning excursions to Israel, as well as Jordan, and it is also closer to an excursion to Cairo, Mount Moses, St. Catherine's Monastery. The Movenpick hotel has a good territory, a large sandy-pebble beach, convenient for entering the water (but I recommend special shoes, as there are a lot of living creatures at the bottom that can hurt), there is no coral reef, there are a couple of small pieces with corals, everything is there mostly they swim with masks (if you are not an avid diver, then you will have enough to look at the fish). The territory and appearance corresponds to the Egyptian 5 (no different from Sharmovsk and Hurghada). Restaurant. Food for four (fruits are practically absent, some vegetables are poorly washed, sometimes greasy appliances), there are A La Carte restaurants on the territory (which you can visit during your vacation once, food in the main restaurant, like in all Egyptian fives (if according to the European system, the food is 4-, but I assure you that there is a lot of food, you definitely won’t die of hunger, I gained 3 kg in 14 days). The rooms are not small, cleaning is done daily, we had a room on the mountains ( the view from the window is beautiful). There are also rooms with sea views and villas, but in this hotel you should not bother with such nuances, since there is no territorial crush. There is animation in the hotel, but it is more designed for children, there is live music: in the lobby the flutist and the saxophonist alternately play (they play live : )). The hotel is surrounded by mountains, which makes the area less windy and very beautiful. On the territory there is a spa center and a free gym with it (everything is very clean and decent). I want to say right away that if you like to take a walk in the evening, go to a disco, have a romance, then this hotel and this resort are not for you, it’s a more relaxing holiday here (you can say: You and nature, and if you go there, then with your samovar or company ) the age group is more than 40-60 years old, as well as children and their parents, the level is average or slightly below average, based on material wealth, the rich do not rest here). So, if you want to hide from the hustle and bustle and go on excursions - welcome to Taba. I want to make such a small rating for hotels in Taba: five: Intercontinental, Sofitel, Hyatt - good hotels, choose according to your taste. Fives with a minus: Movenpick, Marriott, Radison, Hilton, Hilton Village.
Taba is worth a look for a relaxing holiday.

Dedicated to Pegasus and excursions from Pegasus.
I really liked the excursion to Petra, the beauty is simply indescribable, the eyes are amazed by the games of colors of the gorge, it takes your breath away from everything that you see, all this must be seen with your own eyes.
But the Pegasus service is terrible, the driver drives like crazy, on the roads that pass in the mountains, there is no toilet on the bus. The driver drove so fast that he lost his way, not knowing the road, he and the guide decided to go at random, did not look at the signs, which almost led to the fact that our bus did not fall into a cliff - the whole bus was in shock. When I turned to Pegasus with these questions and asked how safe the excursion to Israel is, I realized that Pegasus does not care about anything except money from tourists. It's a shame that we pay more than foreigners for these excursions, but we don't get service and security.
I also really liked the tour to Israel, the holy places are very strong spiritually, I didn’t like Israel itself, as well as the guide. Pegasus: the time was not thought out during the tour, where we don’t need to stand - we run, where we need to stand to look - we hurry. The worst thing is an overnight stay, they promise you 4 stars. hotel, and you come to the territory of Palestine (Bethlehem) to a hotel with a maximum of 2 stars, horror from the hotel and horror from where you are. Just no respect for tourists! in general, Jews are only worried about their safety, and just like the Arabs, they are looking for cheaper options, both in food and in lodging. The food on the excursion is bad (they stand over you so that they don’t eat more), the toilets at these canteens are terrible.

The guide is not correctly intrusive, intimidates by Arabs, does not speak correctly in relation to religions and peoples, and also humiliates the homeland of people. He actively promotes Judaism, it seems as if they are recruiting you, he stands with mockery in holy places, and above the people who worship him. In general, everything that is a Jew is buzzing !!! , and everything else is TROUBLE and we don’t even discuss it !!!
I would very much like a professional guide on such an interesting excursion.
The guide will also tell you about passing the border that you must hide the migration card of Egypt, otherwise the Israeli customs will tear it up and throw it in your face, which accordingly says that not only the Arabs are bad for the Jews, but also us. In general, Israel is the same Arabs, only the Arabs are not so intimidated and warlike. And in terms of development, Israel is not much superior to Jordan and Egypt (Egypt, of course, the most poorly developed country). In general, I would advise Jews who left during the collapse of the Union to visit the former Union and see that Israel is not so good!! ! By the way, the guide, in her words, allegedly left Moscow for an Israeli village (which she does not regret for a moment, to each his own, of course, but Moscow is Moscow !! ! And not at all provincial Jerusalem)
By the way, for all the capital of Israel is Tel Aviv, and for the Jews - Jerusalem... 
Conclusion: dear company Pegasus, make a service on excursions, hire professional guides, and also make maximum safety for tourists, we still pay our money, therefore we demand quality and safety (foreigners pay for the same excursions 20 - 40 percent cheaper) . After your service, not very good impressions remain and there is a desire to no longer contact your company about excursions.
