In my opinion, Faarana would be better because this hotel is located in a closed bay, less wind will blow, and in winter in Sharm the main trouble is a cold strong wind. Siwa is worse off in this respect. The reef on Faaran is better if you swim to the right from the bay, but for beginners it is enough that there is immediately near the coast to the first coral wall. If you want to see more - from the bridge to the right. Siwa's house reef is just as good. The grub seems to me a little better in Faaran and it is located near the old city

why breed myths? there is a strong current in Nabq - yes, but if there is wind, then it is everywhere: in Hadab and Nabq and Sharks Bay ... and in the city itself (in Naam)
Whoever travels in winter - that wind should not be scared by default, but disgusting food (Siva / Faraana, etc.) - this trouble can be easily avoided (if you are friends with your head);)

ser_____Witness77 In winter, there is always wind in Sharm, so hotels with a beach under a cliff and in a closed bay have an advantage in terms of protection from the wind on the beach. For the most part, the beaches of Nabka hotels are in open areas. In my opinion, people go to Sharm for the underwater world of the Red Sea, the tenth meal on the list and, of course, the reef is a priority.
Therefore, from the selected hotels, in the available budget, definitely Faarana.
At the forum, people express their personal opinions on the questions asked, so that those who are interested can form a more or less objective view of the situation, categorical judgments are useless here.

If the hotel, then Siwa, if the beach and reef, then Faraana. Also check out Oasis Beach Reef.

the wind blows mainly from the sea - therefore there is no difference whether the beach is under a cliff or not: if there is a strong wind, it blows equally everywhere - this corresponds to both formal logic and my empirical experience ... and the fact that Faraan will be advertised in this topic ( probably what thread the operator made his base hotel: Join or Anex? ) , then I also immediately understood this))
P.S.
if we go for the reef (s), then for any reason it is not the most beautiful near Faraana, and in a day you will study it all to nausea - then it is more logical to go to any Hadaba hotel and swim on a new reef every day: by taxi / by yacht / on foot - there are more than 7-8 beaches (excluding reefs near Tiran and Ras / Mo) ... but in reality there are only a few tourists behind the reef (s), mostly go to Egi for relaxation / sun / service - including including DELICIOUS and SAFE food, which is not in mention either in Pharaan or in Siwa;)

ser_____Witness77 As far as I know the "basic hotel" has only an annex in 2015 it was the Grand Charm. Due to the high occupancy, they managed to achieve a low price and the hotel itself is not bad. Join Up does not deal with such garbage (but maybe I don’t know), they scored everyone with their low prices. And they do complex tours without additional payments, and Hyatt in November was for some reason only with them at an affordable price, in Anex they stupidly wanted to resell the dojoin tour to me. In 2012 and 2013, I flew without travel agencies at all, by Pegasus through Istanbul and booked through Hotel4u, but today it’s not profitable to fly like that (Hotel4u was closed), the flight turns out to be expensive
Yes, the Lanterns of the Beach reef has degraded greatly over the past 10 years, and yet: for beginners there is something to see, they will see moray eels (it is there) and will be happy, but for those who want more, to the right. And in one day he definitely won’t get bored, given that the daylight hours are short, in fact 2-3 full-fledged swims a day, and in the morning and in the evening the picture is different and the inhabitants are different.

Basic hotels become from operators when they buy out most of the places there (maybe more than one). In different years, different operators have different base hotels (the contract is concluded for a year basically) ... Join Apa always had its own base hotels: Siwa / Reef Oasis ... why not sign a new contract with Faraana with NG, and then do not advertise it with similar topics "help me choose ..."?
This is a rather banal and often repeated technique ... there is nothing more to take (neither the quality of service / nor food) ;) ?

The fact is that I am an experienced tourist, I was in Egypt 12 times, in November I was in Sier. I was in Siwa two years ago, in 2015 in the spring. Friends have never been to Egypt and wanted to fly after the new year. But their budget is up to 300 dollars. From jonap I chose Faraanunada - to show them the beauty of the sea, but the service - “The guys, although economical, want to have fun, and I began to doubt for Pharaana - the evening can be boring. Tell me how in the evening in Pharaan? And yet, the last review says that the restaurant on the beach was closed? And in the evening there is a place to sit near the bar?. The travel agent has already booked us from join for 8 nights from 16.01 to 23.01, but said that I can still change the hotel until the money is paid? So I'm trying to find something else.

In Faraan in the evening there is a bar in the disco, where all their entertainment takes place in the evening!
The coral reef couldn't go anywhere, it had to be there.
If we are talking about closing a grill restaurant by the beach, then back in January last year it was opened.
The bay of Ras Um Sid is closed from the winds, even when the waves at sea are 3-4 points, you can see when the yachts are rocking in the sea.
Farahana is not base from Joyne, I traveled last year from TPG and there are flights this year from Anex.
And I understand that you, sir, have not been to Faraan, but you write so much about this hotel. I recommend writing about those hotels. where exactly were you and can you say something and not strongly believe the information from the OBS (one grandmother said). although he walked on top. I'm talking about January, I rest because in Egypt only in winter.

And the funny thing is, I don't go to Egypt to eat, sir! For this, I would even find special gastronomic tours. By the way, if you go to Egypt for food and drink, then this is not there.
It’s not good for me to run by taxi (yachts) for the beaches, a reef near the hotel is enough, I’m not looking for hotels without reefs.

Join (including) 10 pieces can be better found for the same budget (600 for two).
In the sea (no matter how someone advertises their commitment to the reef) they really go 1, maximum 2 times a day during this period - basically everyone sits in bars / together in the evening they trample Claudia (s) at the reception)) , and the most frisky go to the disco outside the hotel ... well, and once they go (they freeze there) to the sea on a yacht ... all this can be done in any hotel, but it’s more pleasant (IMHO) to do it in hotels with the best service / best cuisine and elementary cleanliness (in bars / at the reception / in the restaurant, etc.)

"And the last thing, the wind does not necessarily blow only from the sea, for 10 days of rest, there was not a single day on the beach of Faraana ... I recommend writing about those hotels where you specifically were"
- I repeat for those who are in the tank: in one of my visits, I visit about 10 hotels on the coastline of beaches - this is a standard dive locale - the boat floats along the coastline and stops close to the buoys of hotels.
So my last visit to Yegi was from 9 to 16 December.
On one day of diving, we stopped near the hotel Hyatt / Melton Beach / and Jazz Phanara / Faraana = everywhere there was warm calm weather / there was almost no wind. A day later, the yacht sailed in Ras Mohammed, the third dive was again on Ras um el Side - the whole day there was a strong wind / waves (including near Faraana) - most of the snooker players froze / vomited on the yacht ...
So do not give out your erotic fantasies)) for reality - this is the sea: here, that is, the wind / storm, and just as suddenly the next day everything can stop = inShalla (s)

anatoly-1966, You have chosen the best hotel by the beach and the sea in winter. The hotel has evening animation, also outside the hotel there is a promenade street, the show "10001 nights", Naama and Soho are always available for taxis. Do not doubt.
There are better hotels, but they are more expensive.

Let's not talk about erotica. Your words - two days were near Pharaana, of which one day you vomited. Total - 50% good weather. I was 10 days -100% windless. What do you want to tell me?
I will say - you are out of luck, puke - do not swim in the reefs, and you could eat something bad, some kind of apple! Any sailor will tell you this even on a submarine, on a yacht too! Yes, there were enough yachts there!
"mostly everyone sits in bars / in the evening they trample on claudia (c) at the reception)) ), and the most frisky ones go to a disco outside the hotel ... well, they go out (they get cold there) to the sea on a yacht ... all this can be done in any hotel" - this is you about yourself. whether? I recommend it once for a gastronomic tour, or for a good sea cruise - they cook better there, no worse than in the hotels advertised by you for grub.

The sea is there, but just a salty sea, with a bunch of boats in the bay, with a beach where there are sun loungers back to back ..., there is a priori no underwater world! If with children ... - well, how would it go, but then it is better to advise Hurghada! With regards to food and messages - we are going there across the sea .... - I fully and completely agree with sir !!! - after the sea I just want to eat normally, not gourmand, but just eat normally and tasty !!! - situations when after entering the hotel dining room, I went to eat at a restaurant in charm ... - it seems to me categorically abnormal, and this was repeatedly due to experiments - there were acquaintances, they liked everything there so much, it was so sincere ..., but in fact - food there is no normal there !!!, for many people it is important not to eat slops !!!

In the wind, I would choose the faraan, it is more comfortable there on this topic, about the choice, I would choose from other hotels! From experience, I don’t remember what year, it was a long time ago, but I remember exactly that in February, the wind was blowing in the faraan, count it on the beach, it was absolutely not comfortable!
