Fares Seafood — Old Market

The Old Market branch of a long-established Sharm seafood house, where fish is chosen from the display and the terrace looks over Old Sharm.

Fares is one of Sharm El Sheikh's best-known names for seafood, and its Old Market branch sits in the heart of Old Sharm, beside the Al Sahaba Mosque. The format is that of a traditional Egyptian fish restaurant: the catch is displayed on ice, guests choose their fish and how it is cooked, and the meal arrives with salads, dips and bread. Its terrace looks out over the rooftops of the Old Market and the mosque, which makes it an easy dinner to pair with an evening in the old town. Fares runs other branches in Sharm; this record is the Old Market restaurant.
