TABA AIRPORT review : 9 October 2008 : by Maureen Hurley
|
Customer Rating : 1/5 |  |
There is not enough seating if two flights are departing within a short space of time. The prices
for snacks and drinks are exorbitant - more expensive than London Gatwick. The toilet facilities are
appalling - hold your breath and get out quick. One outside a janitor gives a square of toilet paper
and holds his hands out for a tip! Would travel through this airport again but would be a lot more
prepared!
Taba International Airport by John Treacy
19 November 2007 Customer Rating : 
Small airport with arrivals and departures in this one terminal, single story building. It appears
to be geared towards purely charter airlines for those wishing to visit some of the nearby Egyptian
resorts but is close enough to be used as an alternative to gain entry to Israel at the Taba
crossing point. Very limited in regard to facilities. In departure it has two toilets, one small
duty free shop selling tobacco and alcohol, two "snack bars" and a couple of "shops" selling typical
tourist tat. Only one gate. No announcements and no boards to look for flight information. You are
called forward for departure. Typical Egyptian officialdom, why have two people to do a job when ten
can do it ? Security checks are worrying. Big gaps that really need to be addressed which, if
someone was so minded, could lead to a significant incident without too much effort.
