Is Sharm El Sheikh warm enough for a beach holiday in early March, and which bays are less windy?

El Fanar is another beach option to consider for shelter from the wind. A February visitor reported a $4 admission fee, very little wind and a better reef than at the beach served by their hotel's shuttle. This is a February observation, not a guarantee of conditions in early March.

In late February and early March, air temperatures were around 23–26°C and the sea was about 21°C. Swimming is possible, but getting in feels cool and long swims can become chilly.

For an early-March trip, choosing a hotel in a sheltered bay matters more than relying on average temperatures. Naama Bay and the Nabq area were reported as windy, with beach red flags and a need for a warm jacket.
