Location	City - Taba State - SOUTH SINAI Country - Egypt
About	Taba is a small Egyptian village near the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba and is the northernmost resort of Egypt's Red Sea Riviera. Taba is the last portion of Sinai to be returned to Egypt under the terms of the 1979 Egypt- Israel Peace Treaty. Taba was on the Egyptian side of the armistice line agreed to in 1949, and returned to Egypt when Israel withdrew from the Sinai in 1957. However, when Israel reoccupied the Sinai after the Six-Day War (1967), a 400-room hotel was built at Taba. When Egypt and Israel were negotiating the exact position of the border in preparation for the 1979 peace treaty, Israel claimed that Taba had been on the Ottoman side of a border agreed between the Ottomans and British Egypt in 1906 and had, therefore, been in error in its two previous agreements. After a long dispute, the issue was submitted to an international commission composed of one Israeli, one Egyptian, and three outsiders. In 1988, the commission ruled in Egypt's favor, and Israel returned Taba to Egypt later that year.

Very good use of perspective here, Khaled. I wonder, however, if you could maybe draw out a bit the blues/greens in the water and sky a bit and make the shot even more dramatic (?).

Just a thought. No matter what, I like the image a great deal. Nice job.

Excellent perspective, Khaled, and you've captured that clear water very well, as well as the blue sky. An interesting "about" concerning this area's very complicated history and politics, too.
