Alkhaimah Resort and Residence

The Resort and Its Setting

Alkhaimah Resort and Residence sits in the El Mayah district of Sharm El Sheikh, South Sinai Governorate, close to Mohamed El Yamany Street. It's an independent property — not tied to one of the big international timeshare brands — and Google reviewers give it a solid 4.2 out of 5 from nearly 2,000 ratings, with the listing covering lodging, dining and café facilities on site. Being independent means the resort runs its own affairs rather than answering to a branded parent company, which for owners usually means a more direct line to resort management when questions come up about bookings, maintenance or resale.

South Sinai and the Red Sea Coast

South Sinai is one of Egypt's best-known coastal regions, and its reputation rests almost entirely on what's offshore: the Red Sea here is rated among the world's top diving and snorkelling destinations, thanks to warm, clear water and healthy reef systems. Sharm El Sheikh itself, around 60 km away, is the area's main resort hub for restaurants, shopping and nightlife. Closer still is Ras Muhammad National Park, roughly 25 km away, a protected stretch of coastline and reef that's a must for anyone diving or snorkelling during their stay. Further along the coast, Dahab (about 85 km away) draws windsurfers, kitesurfers and divers heading for the Blue Hole, while Saint Catherine Monastery, some 140 km inland in the Sinai mountains, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site worth the longer trip for anyone interested in the region's history.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Alkhaimah Resort and Residence and are considering moving it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list the week yourself, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, and no commission is taken from your sale — the price you agree is the price you keep.

Because Alkhaimah Resort and Residence is independent, resale here is handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large branded exchange desk. Before agreeing a sale (or even pricing your week), ask the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published centrally for independent resorts, and a buyer will want to know both before committing. Also check whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process, since this varies from property to property and affects how quickly a buyer can take over the week.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward things: confirmed dates, clarity on what's included in the rental, and proximity to the Red Sea for diving or snorkelling trips. Being upfront about unit size, view and what's within walking distance helps a listing stand out.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone buying a resale week should be clear on what they will and won't receive on transfer — typically the right to use the unit for the contracted week(s) going forward, but not necessarily any prior credits, promotional perks, or points the previous owner may have accrued. Always confirm this directly with resort management before finalising a purchase.

October through April is generally the most comfortable season for visiting South Sinai, with cooler temperatures than the summer months — useful to know whether you're planning your own stay or advising a renter on timing.
