A new luxury resort has officially opened its doors in Taba, on Egypt’s Red Sea coast.

The comfortable, family-friendly holiday oasis has 434 rooms and provides the ideal setting for a relaxing holiday, whatever the time of year. The five-star hotel is part of Movenpick Hotels & Resorts’ (MH&R) expansion strategy and adds to its already considerable Middle East portfolio.
Only 30 km from Taba International Airport, the new holiday complex is situated directly on Taba Bay.

The entire resort is wheelchair accessible, with rooms specially equipped for the physically challenged. The Movenpick Resort Taba serves a wide range of culinary specialities, designed to satisfy even the most discerning gourmets.
The Hotel has its own 400 m private beach, two outdoor pools and a heated indoor pool as well as three wading pools. Other amenities to be available to guests by the end of 2006 include a casino, a spa and leisure area, a modern fitness centre, a water sports and diving centre under professional management, three tennis courts, a volleyball court and a children’s club. An 18-hole golf course is also due to open soon some 20 km from the resort. Two conference rooms with seating for up to 200 participants are complemented by a business centre.
