Castle Zaman
قلعة زمان
A stone castle restaurant on a hill between Taba and Nuweiba, with a poolside view of the Gulf of Aqaba and the coastlines of four countries.
Zaman Castle stands on a hill about 35 meters high beside the Taba–Nuweiba coastal road. Built by hand from local stone, it looks like a medieval castle and now serves as a restaurant and leisure spot. Its signature dishes are meat and seafood slow-cooked in clay pots, which take 1–3 hours to prepare. While waiting, guests can relax by the infinity pool, on sun loungers or at the bar. On clear days, the coastlines of Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia can be seen. Reservations are required. Entry or minimum spend is charged per day, and prices are high. It is not suitable for children. It is about a 10-minute drive from Taba Heights.
Opening hours
