Al Fanar Beach

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.

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.
