Budget diving village with bungalows on the Sharks Bay shore. Indicative rate EGP 1,500-3,500 (~$30-70) per night; season and booking channel change the price, and the exact entrance should be confirmed on the booking page.
Sharks Bay Umbi Diving Village is a budget diving-oriented village of bungalows on the Sharks Bay shore in Sharm El Sheikh, in Egypt's South Sinai Governorate. Sharks Bay is the resort coast north of Naama Bay, and this property is one of the simpler, dive-focused options among the larger resorts. Naama Bay is a short taxi ride away, and the airport is roughly 15 to 25 minutes by road.
The village is classed as three-star and sits in the budget band, with an indicative nightly rate of EGP 1,500-3,500 (about $30-70). Its character is that of a laid-back diving base, with low-rise bungalows near the water rather than a large hotel tower. The mood is informal, with divers and snorkellers forming much of the clientele, and facilities are modest compared with the big all-inclusive resorts nearby.
Room types include standard rooms, double rooms and family rooms, typically in bungalow-style accommodation. Listed amenities are a swimming pool, beach access, a restaurant, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and a dive centre. The dive centre is the signature facility, offering courses, guided dives and equipment rental, while the shoreline gives access to reefs in Sharks Bay for snorkelling and shore diving.
Dining is centred on a restaurant serving breakfast and other meals, usually under half-board or similar arrangements. Menus are simple, with Egyptian and international dishes, and diving schedules often shape meal times. For more variety, guests can take a taxi to Naama Bay.
Service is oriented to divers, and staff and instructors can arrange boat dives to sites such as Ras Mohammed National Park and Tiran Island, subject to conditions. It suits budget divers, snorkellers and couples wanting a casual stay by the sea. It is less suited to families seeking big pools, entertainment and extensive facilities. Rates and room categories vary by season and booking channel, and should be confirmed on the booking page.
