Taba International Airport (IATA: TCP, ICAO: HETB) is a small international airport serving the resort town of Taba in the South Sinai Governorate of Egypt, situated near the borders of Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia at the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba. The airport primarily serves leisure and charter traffic, catering to tourists visiting the Sinai Peninsula's Red Sea resorts and the nearby Taba Heights resort complex.

Dining

Dining inside the airport is limited to a small café and basic refreshment kiosks given the terminal's compact size. The nearby Taba Heights resort complex offers a wide range of restaurants serving Egyptian, Mediterranean, and international cuisine. Travelers are advised to rely on their resort for most dining needs, as standalone restaurants in the area are sparse.

Traveller Tips
  • Carry Egyptian pounds or US dollars as card acceptance at the terminal is limited.
  • Pre-arrange a hotel transfer before arrival, as independent taxis can be scarce outside peak charter arrival times.
  • Bring sun protection and stay hydrated — the Sinai desert climate is intensely hot, especially in summer.
  • If crossing into Israel via the Taba border crossing, ensure your passport and visa requirements are in order well in advance.
