El Fanadir

El Fanadir is one of the longest and straightest reefs in Hurghada, located in the north. It offers a calm drift dive with an average depth of 25m/82ft and water visibility of 25-30m/80-100ft. The main reef is on the west side, while a sandy plateau slopes down from 12-22m/39-72ft on the east, leading to a drop-off wall that goes down to 50m/164ft. This dive site is known for its beautifully colored reef wall, abundant small fish species, and stunning corals. It is also suitable for night dives. Fanadir North, one of the two dive sites at El Fanadir, features a reef wall of 10 meters, a sandy plateau of 15 meters width, and a drop-off reaching 40 meters deep. The reef wall is filled with glassfish and cardinal bass, and there is a chance to spot big tunas and small reef sharks near the drop-off. Other marine life that can be encountered includes stonefish, scorpionfish, blue-spotted stingray, lionfish, octopus, and even a frogfish if lucky. Turtles are regularly seen at this part of the reef. El Fanadir is suitable for divers of all levels.
