Located just 15 kilometers south of Taba, Fjord Bay is an awe-inspiring natural harbor protected by high, rugged mountains that plunge directly into the crystalline waters of the Gulf of Aqaba. This geological marvel is one of the Sinai Peninsula's best-kept secrets, attracting photographers, divers, and travelers seeking serenity away from the mass tourism hubs. The bay’s sheltered waters offer incredibly calm conditions, making it an excellent spot for swimming and relaxation, while the striking contrast between the arid desert and the animated sea creates a truly mesmerizing landscape. Beneath the surface, Fjord Bay is a paradise for experienced divers. It features the famous 'Fjord Hole,' a massive coral bed dropping down to 24 meters, followed by a deeper challenge known as the 'Fjord Banana,' a crescent-shaped reef reaching down to 12 meters. The spirited marine life here is abundant, with dazzling fish and intricate coral formations untouched by heavy boat traffic. Local food options are scarce right at the bay, so visitors typically bring picnics or dine at the resorts in nearby Taba. Getting to Fjord Bay requires driving along the wide-open coastal road connecting Nuweiba and Taba. Most visitors arrive via private transfer, taxi, or rented car from Sharm El Sheikh or directly from the Taba border crossing. The best time to visit is during spring and autumn (March to May and September to November) when the temperatures are mild enough to enjoy both the sun-baked beaches and the refreshing waters without the extreme heat of the Sinai summer.
