To Israel

The crossing from Sinai to Israel at Taba is user-friendly: no visa required (for U.S. citizens) and no entry or exit tax. The border is open 24 hrs.; it should be an uneventful walk through the stations, although Israeli security, as always, is tight. See specific Sinai towns for information on transportation to Taba. Bus #15 runs from the border checkpoint to Eilat until about 11 pm.
