El Fanar Beach, also known as Ras Um Sid, is a fantastic snorkeling spot located just a few miles south of Na’ama Bay in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. It offers free shore access, so you can go snorkeling there without having to book a tour or pay an entrance fee. The beach is fringed by a narrow coral reef, and the underwater world is teeming with marine life. You'll find colorful clownfish, angelfish, butterflyfish, and even giant clams. The drop-off on the Red Sea is truly spectacular, with a vibrant coral wall and shoals of sea goldie swimming above. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced snorkeler, El Fanar Beach is definitely worth a visit for an unforgettable snorkeling experience.
