Yes, there has always been a very visible security presence around Taba, since we've been flying in over the last 3/4 years. It is reassuring for those who haven't visited before and even in the hotels you will find they are "discreetly" cautious regarding security.
In other parts of Egypt, e.g., Luxor, Aswan etc., they try to make visitors feel secure with a high number of Tourist Police in visible positions. Egypt is such a wonderful country, just go and enjoy!

i am really looking forward to going i cant wait
We stayed in taba in December and the security was very tight. They even searched underneath the bus that went from hotel to hotel at EVERY stop. It got a little irritating but then i remembered the part of the world I was in and previous events inTaba at the Hyatt and felt I was being a bit of an idiot really. We take it for granted we will be safe.but we are safer because of security like that...
we were in taba in august sonesta beach hotel the security is tight and you have a guard with you if you go on an organised trip this didnt un nerve us but made us feel even safer, just go and enjoy 
what happened at the Hyatt please

Try not to let this deter you. I went to Sharm within days of the bombings there in 2005 and I'm going again on 30th July this year

Oops! Don't know why it came up on the Google search 
am still happy about going i could get blown up on a london train but i will feel more safe in taba then i do in London as security in Taba will be great
It was a few years ago at Taba itself, not Taba Heights. There was a suicide car bomber who drove his car through the foyer doors of the Hyatt Hilton ( think that was its name...big white hotel, looms right next to border control if i recall correctly..).
You have nowt to worry about in Taba Heights itself..beautiful place..

As Briar mentioned in an earlier post, the hotel concerned was the Taba Hilton, not the Hyatt.
