Sharm el-Sheikh · Ras Umm Sid, Sharm el-Sheikh

El Fanar

An Italian table at the foot of the lighthouse, on a reef beach.

€€€ High end

Set under the Ras Umm Sid lighthouse, the house serves pasta and fish with your feet in the sand, facing one of the town's best snorkelling spots. You lunch in swimwear and dine at sunset.

The extra bit

Bring a mask and snorkel: the reef starts a few metres from the tables.

Know before you go

Beach access may be charged during the day, sometimes deducted from your bill.
