Taxi Border Crossing Taba Eilat

Taba Crossing and Its Location

Geographically, the Taba crossing is very convenient – it connects Israel’s Route 90 with the Egyptian highway leading to Nuweiba, Dahab, and Sharm El Sheikh. The crossing is open to tourists, business travelers, divers, and locals who want to spend a weekend on the other side of the gulf.

Infrastructure and On-site Services

On the Israeli side, there is a modern terminal with air-conditioned waiting halls, restrooms, currency exchange, vending machines for drinks and snacks. The border check is equipped for high traffic, but during peak times (holidays and summer), waiting lines can occur. Parking in front of the terminal is paid, and there is a dedicated area for passenger drop-off and pick-up. On the Egyptian side, you'll find a money exchange booth, mobile SIM card vendors, and a snack kiosk. There is no duty-free area between the gates, so plan purchases in advance.

Who Is Taba Crossing Suitable For?

• Tourists heading to Sharm El Sheikh Airport

• Tourists traveling to the beaches of the Gulf of Aqaba

• Diving, surfing, and kiteboarding enthusiasts bringing personal gear

• Families with children planning a vacation at Taba Heights or Dahab

• Truck drivers and small business owners transporting light goods

• Pilgrims visiting St. Catherine’s Monastery or Mount Sinai

Preparing to Leave Israel for Egypt

1. Passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry

2. Visa. Most tourists can obtain a single-entry visa directly at the border (payment in USD or Egyptian pounds). If traveling south of Sharm or planning a longer stay, it's advisable to obtain the visa in advance from the consulate

3. Exit Fee. Collected by the Israel Airports Authority; can be paid online or on-site

4. Travel Insurance. Strongly recommended, especially with coverage for extreme sports

5. Time Planning. Leave Eilat at least two hours before terminal closing time to avoid an overnight stay at the border

Preparing to Enter Israel from Egypt

1. Passport and an Israeli visa if required (CIS citizens usually need to obtain it in advance)

2. Declaration. Declare any valuables, electronics, and amounts over $10,000 in advance

3. Baggage Restrictions. Some food items, animal products, and agricultural goods are prohibited

4. Waiting Time. During busy seasons, the border check may take up to an hour – plan connecting transportation accordingly
