Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village, a 3-star Bedouin-owned hotel located in Sharks Bay, offers diving experiences with its house reef ranked among the best in Sharm el-Sheikh.
Beachfront Accommodations
The Wooden Beach cabins sit steps from the private beach, while Bedouin-style cliff-top rooms feature balconies overlooking Tiran Island. All accommodations at Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village include air conditioning, private bathrooms, and select rooms offer TVs and refrigerators.
Authentic Dining Options
The Seaview restaurant serves fresh seafood cuisine with Red Sea views. Guests can relax in the Bedouin Tent to enjoy the best shisha in town alongside Arabic coffees, Bedouin tea, and cold drinks while watching the moonlight over Tiran Island.
Premier Diving Facilities
The on-site dive center provides daily boat trips, PADI/SSI courses, and house reef shore dives. Visitors can explore world-famous sites like Ras Mohamed, Tiran Straits, and the Thistlegorm wreck, with mini-liveaboard safaris available for remote locations.
Strategic Location
Located 6 miles from Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport with a private jetty for direct boat access. The hotel sits near Soho Square (1 miles), Musical Fountain (1 miles), and Peace Square (1.5 miles).
Adventure Activities
Beyond diving, guests can enjoy water sports including glass boat trips, banana boats, parasailing, and wakeboarding. Land excursions feature Bedouin evenings with stargazing, quad biking, and day trips to Cairo, Luxor, and St. Catherine.
“Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village stands out with its Bedouin architecture and immediate access to the Red Sea's celebrated dive sites. I particularly appreciate the on-site jetty, which streamlines boat trips to destinations like Tiran Island, avoiding the usual crowded harbors. For diving enthusiasts and those seeking a tranquil, culturally rich experience, this village delivers a distinctive charm.”
