TL

Reef Oasis Beach Resort stands on a sandy beach in Hadbet Um El Sid, 14 km from Sharm El Sheikh airport and 7 km from Naama Bay. The Sinai mountains are behind it, the Red Sea in front, and — the point of the place — Temple lies directly off the beach, one of the best-known dive sites in Sharm.

The dive centre, Reef Oasis Dive Club, puts it plainly: “when others use boats to dive at these places, we just jump into them”. Temple is the resort’s house reef — three pinnacles rising from twenty metres to the surface, walls of soft and hard coral, lionfish, stonefish and schools of glassfish in the crevices. At night the basket stars come out, which makes Temple one of the most popular night dives in Sharm. Shore dives run four times a day: 06:30, 11:30, 14:30 and 18:30.

Reef Oasis Dive Club is a PADI 5 Star centre with branches at two resorts in the group. Full-day boats run to the national parks of Ras Mohammed and Tiran Island, to the wrecks of the Thistlegorm and the Dunraven, and overland to Dahab for the Blue Hole and the Canyon. Courses go from Bubblemaker for eight-year-olds up to instructor level. 12-litre nitrox tanks are free to certified divers, and the centre runs a free try dive every day at 10:30.

The resort itself is big and family-shaped: ten swimming pools, a water park with slides, tennis and padel courts, a spa, a kids’ club and evening shows. There are more than a dozen restaurants and bars — the Cibum and La Citadel buffets, Italian La Gioconda, Indian Maharajah, the Kababgi grill, Asian Ginza with a sunset terrace, the seafood Moon Light, the 24-hour Piazza and a bar at every pool.

The resort runs on an all-inclusive basis: most restaurants and bars are covered by the rate, some carry a supplement.

No markup

You pay exactly the rate the resort publishes. On top of that, only the actual bank costs of currency conversion and the international transfer — no commission of ours.

We run the deal

Correspondence with the resort, holding the room, the contract, booking confirmation and all paperwork are on our side. There is nothing for you to arrange yourself.

Card payment

We accept payment by card through Stripe and issue an invoice. The transfer to the resort is our job — you do not have to find a way to pay abroad.

Support all the way

We help you choose the room and dates, work out the dive package, answer questions about flights and gear, and stay in touch until you are home.

The exact amount is confirmed when we hold your booking: it includes the resort's rate at the day's exchange rate plus the actual transfer costs. No hidden fees.

All prices are in euros, and the centre quotes two — a standard rate and a lower one for booking online at least 72 hours ahead. The €10 per person per day boat fee and the €7 marine park entry are charged separately; the house reef carries no park fee.
