About Shark Bay (Sharks Bay)

Shark Bay (Sharks Bay) sits on the coast just north of the airport and Soho Square, a comparatively low-key bay best known for diving and snorkelling. Its house reef - a coral plateau starting at about 5 m and dropping to around 20 m - is rated among the best shore dives in Sharm El Sheikh, drawing dive operators such as Camel Dive and Umbi Sharks Bay. The bay's secluded sandy coves, clear water and views toward Tiran Island give it a calmer, more nature-focused feel than the busy central strips. Residential stock centres on resort-style complexes, most notably Sharks Bay Oasis, a sea-view development of one- and two-bedroom apartments with four pools, a private beach and an open-air restaurant, just a few steps from the water. With prices commonly quoted in USD and a location three minutes from the airport, eight minutes from Naama Bay and beside Soho Square, the bay appeals to divers, watersport buyers and holiday-let investors who want reef frontage and seclusion without being far from the action.
