About this site
Catalog

El Fanadir is a long, narrow fringing reef running parallel to the coast just south of El Gouna, with its northern end offering an easy drift over a wall and coral slope. Vibrant soft corals, glassfish-filled overhangs, moray eels and frequent turtles characterise the dive. The sheltered lee side makes it reliable in most conditions and ideal for all levels.
