We have been to Sharm 3 times and visit El Fanar every time the fish and coral are amazing. When you arrive go to the beach on the right as this is the best value and the beach guys are really friendly.

El Fanar is very romantic and nice place in the night. You can go there and have a rest and relax by night front of the moon and the voice of sea waves .. it is fantastic place really. You have there also restaurants and coffee shop and disco too.
