Coral Coast Hotel is locally owned by a prestigious Bedouin Sheikh and his family, built on lands belonging to their ancestors. Lease fees are introduced directly into the local community and distributed between family members.
All fresh produce used in the hotel's meals is dispatched to Sinai from the Delta in mainland Egypt, although the hotel also supports and encourages a local Bedouin family who have cultivated arid desert land to produce various fruits and vegetables. Although stock is not ample enough yet to sustain the hotel, the crops are purely organic and grown from seed using natural spring water.
The hotel employs mostly Egyptian staff - Bedouins don't like jobs that tie them down. However the hotel have close links with Bedouin families and help support their traditional lifestyles by providing fairly paid work as drivers and desert guides.

Fantasea Dive Centre is very environmentally aware and actively works to reduce the damage to the coral reefs in the Red Sea through e.g. having dive groups of no more than 6 divers, take part in clean-up dives, training all staff in environmental awareness, ensure their divers exhibit good buoyancy before taken to pristine dive sites, enforce refresher dives for people who have not dived in 6 months, train & employ local Bedouin and Egyptian dive professionals up to instructor level and donate to local projects.

Visa and Euro/Mastercard are accepted as well as cash payments.
