I'll keep it simple. I LOVE this place. Living in Cairo, my husband and I come to the Sinai every few months and we usually prefer to stay in Dahab, about an hour south of Taba, however we always extend our stay for an extra night to Taba simply to come to Castle Zaman. The staff are helpful and friendly.... more

I only learnt of this place from other tripadvisor members. It really is a hidden Gem! it isn't advertised anywhere in Taba and none of the reps ofer it as a trip. We emailed before we went and rang once in resort to book. Lucy was very helpful. we arranged to be collected at 2.30pm and to eat at 7.30pm.... more

After discovering Castle Zaman on Trip Advisor I couldn't wait to book! I went there with my husband, daughter and her boyfriend and we all loved it. We arrived about 3.00 and were greeted by the lovely Laura. We ordered our food straight away and were told it would be ready for 7.30 . After having a refreshing drink we... more

We stayed in Taba last year and was blown away by this place so the first thing we did when we landed this year, was call to book! I was a bit worried that this secret hideaway may have been discovered by the masses but althought there were more guests there this time, the experience and service was still as... more

I am reluctant to write a review for one selfish reason...it may encourage others to pay a visit to Castle Zaman. It was superb and the highlight of our two week stay in Taba Heights. I decided I would like to surprise my wife and spend our 26th wedding anniversary at Castle Zaman months before we finally arrived at taba... more

We were recommended this place by the staff at Movenpick for a relaxing day in beautiful setting. We were not disappointed. The architect/owner of this modern day castle has created this haven with very clever use of materials. His imagination and vision and very successful use of creativity and innovation is visible in every nook and corner of this place.... more

We don't have to say a lot, the other reviewers have already said it. I have worked as a Senior Officer on reputable Cruises ships for the last 10 years, I have been around and I know good food. So when I say Castle Zaman is a wonderful and hospitable place it really is. And if you do go for... more

Before going to stay at Taba Heights did some research on this site. Followed the links to the Castle which looked different and interesting. We decided to book for a meal there and called mid morning and spoke with Laura. She made all the arrangements, including transport. As we approached from the road to the North we saw what looked... more

Fantastic view, delicious food, morish cocktails, friendly staff, fascinating architecture and details, groovy music... and I can just keep going! Egypt/Sinai is one of my favourite destinations... and I always end up staying in the area around Castle Zaman (I prefer this area much better than what is now commercial Sharm and Dahab -- but you just need to know... more

I had just arrived the previous day from NZ when I though I would start to explore, as I was walking from my camp (Antica) I came across a sign for Castle Zaman looking up I see what looks to be a ruin of some sort. Indulging my curiosity I continue my walk to the gate where a friendly local... more
