Saladin's Castle & Fjord Bay: boat to Pharaoh's Island, Taba

Sail to an 800-year-old fortress on its own island. Pharaoh's Island sits about 250 m off the Taba coast, crowned by the castle the Crusaders built and Saladin took and rebuilt. We cross by boat, walk the walls and towers with a local guide, snorkel the reef around the island if you like, then stop above Fjord Bay for the best view on the Gulf of Aqaba on the way home.
