EL FARAANA REEF RESORT

Perched on the cliffs of Ras Um Sid, overlooking the Red Sea in Sharm El Sheikh. The resort fronts a private beach and is known for one of the best locations in the area, about 22 km from the airport and roughly 10 km from the town center.

Rooms and suites feature a balcony or terrace with garden, pool or sea view — think ocean-view balconies and easy reef access. Each room includes satellite TV, a minibar and a wardrobe, while suites add a spacious living room. The vibe is relaxed resort-casual with plenty of coastal character.

Private beach, three swimming pools and an on-site discotheque set the scene. Diving and other watersports can be arranged on request, and mornings come with sea-breeze terraces perfect for a slow start.
