El Fanar Beach

El Fanar: Stunning Views and Underwater Wonders at Hadaba Hill Perched on the edge of the Om El Seid cliff (Hadaba), El Fanar is one of the most iconic and picturesque spots in Sharm El Sheikh. Named after its historic lighthouse, this area offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and leisure, making it a favorite destination for Etro Tours guests who seek both relaxation and adventure. A Snorkeler’s Paradise: The waters beneath the El Fanar cliff are home to some of the most vibrant coral reefs in the region. Because the reef drops off steeply into the deep blue, it attracts a magnificent variety of marine life, offering an unforgettable snorkeling and diving experience right from the shore.
