Mazar Resort & Spa

The Resort & Its Setting

Mazar Resort & Spa sits in South Sinai, the stretch of Egyptian coastline where the desert mountains meet the Red Sea. It operates as an independent timeshare resort with RCI affiliation, meaning weeks here can be used directly by owners or exchanged through the RCI network for stays at other RCI resorts worldwide. South Sinai's appeal has always rested on the contrast between its arid, rocky interior and the clear, warm water just offshore — a combination that draws divers, snorkellers and anyone after a straightforward beach-and-sun week.

South Sinai: What There Is To Do

South Sinai is best known for the Red Sea itself, with reefs and dive sites that rank among the most accessible in the world from a shore base. Mount Sinai, one of the most significant pilgrimage sites in the region, offers a well-trodden overnight hike for sunrise views and is within reach for a day trip or overnight stay. Sharm El-Sheikh, the area's largest resort town, offers a wider choice of restaurants, markets and organised excursions if owners want a change of pace from the resort itself. Desert safaris, Bedouin camp visits and snorkelling trips are the activities most owners build a week around here.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Mazar Resort & Spa and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. The marketplace works on an owner-to-owner basis: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers actively searching for South Sinai and RCI-affiliated resorts, and interested parties contact you through the platform to agree terms. There's a one-time listing fee to post your week, and BidMyTimeshare charges 0% commission on the sale — unlike agency resales, the price you agree is the price you keep.

Because Mazar Resort & Spa is run as an independent property, any resale transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded transfer programme. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort or its management: the transfer fee that applies to change the week into the buyer's name, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether the resort can exercise any right of first refusal on a resale. These figures aren't published centrally, so it's worth getting them in writing before a deposit changes hands. A resale buyer typically receives the deeded or right-to-use week itself and the ability to apply for RCI membership in their own name to continue exchanging; they do not automatically inherit any existing RCI points balance or booking already made by the seller.

Renters, meanwhile, are usually looking for a confirmed week with clear dates, an idea of room size and view, and confirmation of what's included — so sellers renting out a week should be ready to answer those questions directly rather than relying on general resort descriptions.

Practical Notes

Visitors need a valid passport and should check Egypt's current visa requirements before travelling, as these can usually be arranged on arrival or in advance depending on nationality. South Sinai is warm for most of the year, and October through April is generally the more comfortable stretch for sightseeing and outdoor activity, while the hotter summer months suit those planning to spend most of their time in and around the water. Renting a car or arranging transfers is worth considering if you want to visit Mount Sinai or Sharm El-Sheikh rather than staying at the resort throughout.
