El Fanous East

Fanous East is a popular dive site near Hurghada, known for its vibrant coral formations and frequent encounters with bottlenose dolphins. The site features a shallow reef plateau with depths ranging from 5 to 15 meters, making it ideal for both beginner and experienced divers.
One of the main attractions of Fanous East is its coral pinnacles, covered with colorful soft and hard corals, providing shelter for a variety of marine life. Divers can spot moray eels, lionfish, scorpionfish, and schools of snappers and fusiliers. The sandy seabed surrounding the reef is home to blue-spotted stingrays, while the open water often brings sightings of trevallies and barracudas.
Thanks to its relatively shallow depth and clear waters, Fanous East is a great site for relaxed dives and underwater photography. It is also a well-known location for dolphin encounters, adding a special highlight to any dive.
