El Fanar Beach

Great little beach to spend your days relaxing in the sun, dipping in the sea and swimming with the fish. 200 LE for entry and you can get a free bottle of water with your ticket. Staff are incredibly kind and attentive, food was delicious and drinks were well made. I had a massage on one of my days and as soon as it was finished, I had to proclaim my love to the masseuse!

Fantastic beach. We were amazed when we went snorkeling and saw the amount of corals and fish. On our first dive, we saw a blue-spotted stingray that left us speechless. The entrance fee is €4, but it’s totally worth it. On top of that, we got the chance to go on a banana boat ride for only €8 per person.

Great public beach, you pay only 200 Egyptian pounds for entry, use of sun beds, good access to sea, nice snorkeling around and of course a restaurant and bar on the top of it. Waitress walking around to serve you food and drinks (no expensive). Also you can oppt for diving, trips, massage or tours if you want.

Was very nice you have to but tickets for entrance 200 EG is fine bad thing if you forget your towel you will pay 50 for one

After we discovered this beach we only came here. We took the entrance in the middle, to El Fanar, which is the quietest of the 3. There is a fee of 200 Egyptian pounds per person, which includes a sunbed, a bottle of water, access to showers and toilets. The staff is friendly and polite. There is a restaurant where you can eat and some services like massages and diving lessons. The corals and the fish are the highlight of the beach, the water is crystal clear, snorkling and diving here are just amazing.

Entry costs 4 USD for adults and children enter for free. It is hard to call this place a real beach, because the sunbeds stand on a leveled patch of ground created on flatter parts of the cliff. There is no sand for children to play with. You enter the water by stairs or from the pier. In the background you hear loud local music that can feel tiring for many Western tourists and flies attack constantly. I still recommend this spot because the reef from the pier is excellent. It is beautiful and it drops into a steep wall formed by many impressive corals. It is probably the best place in this area to admire marine life directly from the shore.

Nice little place, quiet (when Italians are not arguing and trying to kill each other). Plenty of different fish species in the water, beautiful reef. We even saw some kind of a ray. Loungers fairly clean and comfy. Few cats about. Great sunset spot. Entrance was 150egp per person - looking at reviews - they make the entry fee up as they please.

Amazing corals. Idyllic place for diving and snorkeling. I loved there. You can see in my photos that the place is a paradise. The bar and restaurant is very good. Excellent attention, good food. The only unfortunate situation was that I got stolen a small bag with money and my credit card. The owner of the bar was extremely helpful, providing help, looking for the carema footage to identify the thief (see video, it is funny how she picked from the floor) and even accompanied me to the hotel where we thought the thief was living. Unfortunately I did not recovered neither my money nor the card. However I must say that the people there did there best to help in this appalling situation. I highly recommend the place.
