And not a pyramid in sight...

Advantages: a quiet, stylish and peaceful hotel
Disadvantages: a bit to quiet at night

...the most recent is the Three Corners in Taba Heights. Taba is the closest Egyptian town to the Israeli border, almost within shouting distance of Elat, with the Jordanian port of Aqaba visible beyond that. About half an hour south of Taba is the resort of Taba Heights nestling snugly between the red mountains and the azure waters of the Sinai coast. The resort is completely tourist orientated, that is to say that there is no local settlement in ...
...open to the public. The Three Corners is the hotel that will eventually cater specifically for those who have opted for a golfing holiday, but as yet normal tourists populate it. The Three Corners, in keeping with the other hotels at the resort, is a stylish affair. A collection of mainly one and two storey buildings are connected by courtyards and green-bordered walkways, fountains and walled garden features softening the earth tones of the complex. ...

Review of Three Corners Ocean View Hotel, El Gouna

A great place to go, as long as you don't eat!!

Advantages: Staff are amazing, sun, beach, pools, value for money
Disadvantages: Terrible food!!

...sunny around May. They suggested Sol Y Mar Sea Star in Taba, Egypt. The hotel is all inclusive -----Location----- Taba is located right up in the North East on Egypt, close to Israel and Jordan. It's a great place to stay if you wanted to visit a few different countries as you are not far from Israel, Jordan and also Saudi Arabia. It really is in a fantastic location for visiting all these countries, and the tour operator that we went with (Thomas ...
...is a short drive from Sol y Mar. This is like a small town, with a few big hotels around twenty shops/stalls, places to eat and a golf course. We went for a day, and, to be honest, I wouldn't go back. There was a supermarket, which was useful, but the other shops were disappointing - we bought nearly nothing and I am a shopaholic! They weren't all open, and when I went in some of them, I felt as though I was being pushed into buying something. There ...

Review of The Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza Beach Resort, Marsa Alam

I didn't feel I had paid enough - it was amazing!

Advantages: Many of them, flight not too long, very high quality, great food, great location, fantastic!
Disadvantages: The sun went down a little too early...but you cannot blame the hotel for that!

We went to this hotel in October, the weather was certainly hot enough at that time of year. I had seen pictures on the internet, but know from experience that often pictures can be deceiving! We flew from Manchester, with a flight of just 5 hours, which is long enough to sample the food that the flight had to offer (Mmmmm!) and watch a film. It is not a bad flight time to somewhere that has great weather and fantastic culture. I had been to Egypt ...
...well organized. We seemed to get off the plane on to a coach quite quickly. It was dark by the time be landed, so not realizing that we were travelling through the Sinai Mountains, as I couldn't see them, I presumed the driver was a typical Egyptian not able to keep the vehicle going in a straight line! They are pretty scary on the roads! But on the journey back to the airport two weeks later, realized he had actually done quite well! The Hotel was ...
