About this site

El Fanadir is a long, narrow reef running parallel to the coast just north of Hurghada, offering a classic wall and drift dive where the cliff drops to a sandy plateau before sloping deeper to about 25-30 m. The reef is decorated with hard and soft corals and patrolled by groupers, snappers, glassfish and turtles. Sheltered conditions and easy drift profiles make it accessible to most certification levels.
