Below El Fanar Monument

A note by Onur YurduseverSharm El Sheikh, Egypt

A quiet sea-facing spot just below El Fanar Monument, close to Al Fanar Beach. It is not a polished viewpoint or a formal stop; more like a simple edge of Sharm where you can sit for a while, listen to the water and look out over the Red Sea.

The curator's note

Visit the monument first, then walk down and pause here for a few minutes. It is beautiful in a very understated way: stone, sea, wind and silence. In the evening it can also feel like a local hangout, so if you are coming alone, daylight or early sunset will probably feel more comfortable.

Viewpoint

Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt

Bring a cold drink and come without a plan. It is beautiful during the day, but the view feels more special after sunset, when Old Sharm starts to glow and the mosque becomes the brightest point in the scene.

Café

Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt

I use this place as a simple walking break in Naama Bay. It does not always show clearly on Google Maps, so it is easy to miss, but the location is useful: grab a cold drink, sit under the palms for a few minutes, then keep walking towards the market or back along the beach.
