About the Hotel

This cosy boutique hotel located on very spacious grounds in the south Red Sea Riviera is an ideal place for scuba divers and for all those seeking tranquillity in natural surroundings. Built with the concept of a Bedouin village, “The Oasis” is really unique: no noisy animation, no television, radios or telephones (except for emergencies). Just peace, intimate ambience, informal atmosphere and an amazing sandy beach for a truly relaxing holiday.


Location & Beach

The Oasis Resort lies on a dominant cliff overlooking a long unspoiled sandy beach; thanks to its architectural design, from almost everywhere you have a stunning view on the Red Sea. The private jetty in the front of the hotel allows you on calm days to just jump in the water and dive or snorkel on the nice house reef. It is situated about 40 km from Marsa Alam airport, 20 km from Marsa Alam village and 110 km from Quseir.


Rooms

The hotel features 60 rooms chalet style, made of natural materials in typical Egyptian architecture. Each has a balcony or terrace with unrestricted splendid sea view. Reachable through small alleyways and winding steps of fossilized coral stone, all rooms are differently furnished and individually designed and have private bathroom with solar power heater, air conditioning, and ceiling fans; deluxe chalets are more specious and have also a minibar.


Restaurants & Bars

The restaurant offers during the day à la carte or buffet meals; in addition various theme nights are organized with Oriental menus, seafood platters, steaks, etc.; pool and beach barbecues. Seize the chance to taste one of the exquisite wines at the restaurant’s terrace, where the view of the Red Sea with the whole of this lovely resort at your feet is unforgettable. The Bedouin tent on the beach invites to relax and savour the flavour of Egypt; Gabbana, special roasted coffee and tea are served with traditional shisha while enjoying serenity on the sea front.

The nice house reef along the fringing reef is accessible by a long jetty stretching over the reef plate. On calm days, there are ideal conditions for beach dives, night dives and open water dives during beginner courses. The various diving programmes offered by the centre enable you to visit a long stretch of Marsa Alam’s coast, covering more than 30 different and uncrowded dive sites in the South of the Red Sea.
