I wrote it already. The beach is cool, the entry into the water is excellent, the sand. Lots of fish. Its own reef, even better than sailing in the reserve on a catamaran. They swam in masks. Great. The only negative is the lack of a toilet on the beach. We need to go up the road. It's not ice cold.
El Fanar beach is really cool, the best in Charm. I have never seen such a number of beautiful fish, eaglets, corals anywhere. By the way, a couple of sharks also swam every day. There are more animals to the right of the pontoon, it is interesting to swim to the Minced Meat beach, whom you will not see ... To the left of the pontoon, rescuers are not particularly allowed to swim, because there is a strong current. The beach is divided into two halves. Admission to any of them costs $ 3, they give you a free bottle of water, a towel and a pack of napkins. The sun beds are comfortable, the umbrellas are large and dense, they are enough for all vacationers. A very comfortable wooden pontoon with a wide staircase. Rescuers are constantly on duty, and they closely monitor everyone at sea, which is very pleasant. I did not find any disadvantages, except that "ladies who cannot swim" constantly sit on the stairs for a very long time and therefore it is difficult to enter / exit the sea. But this is not about the beach ... For those who cannot swim and children, there is a small fenced and coral-free area with access from the shore.
The beach itself is not bad, but if you go to the Marriott Hotel, I would think 3 times. The hotel is not customer-oriented at all. The food in the restaurant is poor, the bars and so on too. Check-in starts at 12 and you won't be allowed to have breakfast if you arrive earlier and check out at 12, so forget about lunch too. It 's not the richest reef , but the sea is gorgeous , just like the rest of the Sharm el Sheikh coast.
