I visit Taba regularly and this is the first time I have visited Castle Zaman. It certainly will NOT be the last time. This place is out of this world, unbelievably beautiful place to chill by the pool, drink and eat! This place is not child friendly so, If you want to relax, this is the place to go!

Unique location with great view of the Red Sea from a sea-side hill. I have been twice and it is a one-of-a-kind experience. The Bedoquin style cast iron pot cooking (Lamb falls off the bone) is scrumptuous. I am an architect and it is an amazing stone arched wonder, with driftwood furniture and a see thru fireplace to the sea.... More

What an amazing place. If theres one thing you do, make sure you pay the castle a visit. Lucy was so helpful & pleasant on booking & a font of knowledge about the history/area. We spent the day there from midday & had the most wonderful food. A taxi was arranged for collection & return & at @ £50 each... More

Made this our "Must do" for our holiday and went to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary; Rather out of the way, but a magical place; lovely people and excellent food though a little pricey. Think Flintstones Dinosaur joints and you have some idea of the portion size!

My partner and I went there 2 weeks ago while enjoying our holiday in Taba Heights. I had read a lot about Castle Zaman and had high expectations. A taxi picked us up from the hotel and about a half hour later we pulled up to the castle. We met with Layla and Lucy, and then went on to discover... More
