Ras Um Sid & Farsha Café
رأس أم السيد
A cliffside headland at the southern end of town, with a lighthouse, a reef famous for its soft coral forests, and a clifftop café with lantern-hung terraces for watching the sunset.
Ras Um Sid lies at the southern tip of the Hadaba district. The reef slope near the lighthouse is famous for its vast “forests” of soft coral, making it one of Sharm’s best shore dive sites. The Farsha Café is built into the cliff, with tiered terraces made of reclaimed wood, carpets and lanterns that extend all the way down to the sea. It is a popular spot for watching the sunset, drinking mint tea and smoking shisha (there is a minimum spend). It is about 15 minutes by taxi from Naama Bay.
