	Egypt State Information Service - Taba
		Taba was on the Egyptian side of the armistice line agreed to in 1949, and returned to Egypt when Israel withdrew from the Sinai in 1957.
		However, when Egypt and Israel were negotiating the exact position of the border in preparation for the peace treaty, Israel claimed that Taba had been on the Ottoman side of a border agreed between the Ottomans and British Egypt in 1906 and had therefore been in error in its two previous agreements.
		Taba, with its generally calm weather conditions and lack of currents, is an ideal location of the Red Sea Riviera to learn to dive, and most diving centers offer the full range of beginners' courses.

	Egypt - Information, Maps, Facts, What to do, Links, and much more.
		Egypt borders on Libya on the west, on Sudan on the south and on Israel on the northeast.
		Egypt's important role in geopolitics stems from its strategic position: as a land bridge between Africa and Asia, and as a passage between the Mediterranian Sea and the Indian Ocean through the Suez Canal.
		Egypt also has a strong Christian heritage as evidenced by the existence of the Coptic Orthodox Church headed by the Patriarch of Alexandria, which claims a following of 50 million Christians worldwide (one of the famous Coptic Orthodox Churches is Saint Takla Haimanot Church in Alexandria http://www.St-Takla.org).

		For example, in the Taba dispute one of Israel' s key needs was to insure national survival, whereas one of Egypt's key needs was to restore their national pride and sense of importance in the region.
		Both Israel and Egypt felt their needs for security and recognition were being threatened by the other's insistence upon the importance of keeping the Taba area, and both countries were projecting their own exaggerated fears onto the other.
		He concludes that although the settlement of the Taba dispute was positive in that it was achieved without war, it was negative in terms of lost opportunities for greater mutual understanding, recognition, acceptance, cooperation, and trust between Israel and Egypt.

	Western Oil Cartel Nuked in Taba Hilton Hotel, Egypt
		Taba itself is only a few miles from the Palestinian port of Eilat, making it easy to slip foreign visitors in and out of the Jewish State without any need for telltale visa stamps in their passports.
		Though the Russian KGB was obviously aware of Taba's primary role as a covert operations center, it stayed discreetly in the background, occasionally sending in a 'tourist' or two to check the lie of the land, and keep track of interesting visitors.
		It seems likely that the Taba Hilton would be intact today if the Mossad and CIA had been content to meddle in Iraq alone, because Russia knew that the Zionists were already soundly defeated there, as had been the intent from the moment they were lured across the starting line in Kuwait.

		The Taba attacks, believed the work of al Qaeda, claimed a second victim — the Egyptian tourism industry, a major source of badly needed foreign currency for Egypt's cash-strapped economy.
		Despite the quick finger-pointing at al Qaeda, the Taba attacks could be the work of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the outlawed group that merged with al Qaeda a few years ago, with its leader Ayman al-Zawahri becoming bin Laden's deputy.
