Egypt was discovered, but what do you hear about sharks?
From unofficial sources close to the Sharm El Sheikh hospital, it is known that locals with shark bites continue to be admitted to the hospital. Dear Oresty52, please do not worry and do not take part in the discussion. Thank you in advance.

What information is there?
аватар papa74
Here the sharks of the tourist industry will begin to cover the topic with a flood ...
аватар miki08
Yes, we are unlikely to know the truth and the real state of affairs. Too profitable business and many are tied in it, therefore the non-Egyptian side of the non-CIS tour business is not at all interested in the truth.

Who has been to Maritim Royal Peninsyla for at least the last month? is the beach open there? I want to fly there on the 26th.

There is a wide variety of these predators in the Red Sea. From my personal experience, having lived in Sharm for more than 6 years, I can say that sharks come closer to the shore of the resort in winter, but even when it’s hot, it’s impossible to 100% exclude meeting with them. What this winter caused several cases of simultaneous attacks of sharks on swimmers, there is still no exact answer - there are several versions. But the fact that now off the coast of Sharm the sea is being monitored specially from boats and yachts, now every beach has a safe area for swimming it is a fact.

"safe swimming area" - I like it ;)
аватар aisha_sharm
I can’t claim that the area is safe for swimming, it’s more correct to say that it is recommended for swimming.

On the right stairs...
It was in December 2009, many sites erased all my information about this event, hoteliers almost stole a camera with a video (Sunrise Island)...
So here's the question:
"Where is the safe swimming area?"
аватар papa74
Thanks to the "tourist business" for the minus on the link to the video !!!
аватар miki08
papa74-Well, you have sold out and really in earnest, but is it worth wasting your nerves and time? Whoever doesn’t believe the flag in his hands, let him try his fate on his ass, and arguing, as I myself was convinced, with representatives of tour companies, it’s pissing against the wind from relatives, they don’t have the simplest concepts of business or trade, but the main thing for them is that people hawala everything, the main thing is to use more foreign, abstruse terms in a dispute. Do not spoil your nerves, believe me, they will still come in handy.
аватар papa74
Thank you miki08 for the kind words!

So after all, is it possible to swim from one hotel to another, or is the "safe" zone 3mx3m and no further?
And what if I ignore their whistles? Will they pull you out by your hair and won't let you into the water again?
аватар papa74
There is no one to seek the truth from ...
gotta go and check...
аватар ljalja
Eh, I'm stupid. I had to go to Mars, where you can definitely swim wherever you want. So no, it was not easy for me to go to Sharm, sit here now, be nervous ...
People in El Pasha Bay, has anyone been there recently?

Come on, sharks in the Red Sea were, are and will be. Divers are specifically looking for meetings with them and do not eat them. I also saw a shark in Mars, in the distance, really, and nothing, and she didn’t chase me (thank God), I’m not very brave and it wasn’t part of my plans to get to know her. BUT, if you are afraid of everything, then it is better to stay at home. What happened last year is rather an exception to the rule (I understand that it doesn’t make it easier for those people, and I sincerely feel sorry for them), after all, a shark very rarely attacks unprovoked. But if anything .... We have such a weighty flash, we will fight back (do not bring, Lord)

I'd rather wait until Turkey!
аватар ilka-pu
Why is it so categorical: "if you are afraid of everything, it is better to stay at home." You know, there is a possible danger, but there is a REAL one. It seems to me that these are two big differences. I myself was in Egypt 2 times last year, but after what happened (just in the same place) I won’t go into the water, but there will always be adventurers on their ass. Someone may not have enough adrenaline, that's how they have fun. The globe does not end with Egypt, you can find another place to relax, but this is not tired of living, of course. Good luck!!!

Who is spreading these rumors? Sharks are here and will be, but go find at least one!
аватар HotLine
Today it is impossible to hide shark attacks.
Last year's attacks are on the Internet from all angles and with a bunch of comments from real eyewitnesses. Papa74, for example, could not take the camera
http://my.turpravda.com/papa74/gallery/7770/?page=1
There are even eyewitnesses of what was not. Very vigorously, for example, the attack of a Serb on a shark was discussed. In that order -
http://news.mail.ru/incident/4999351/?frommail=1
Therefore, I doubt the reliability of "unofficial sources close to the hospital."
And shark attacks are possible wherever they are.
They are in the Red Sea.
Before Sharma, there was an attack in Hurghada in 2009. Before that, a group of divers on Mars disappeared - they blame it on sharks.

Moreover, sharks are not the worst thing to tell tourists about Egypt.
If someone really wants to go to Yenipet, but he is very worried about sharks, then assess the likelihood of danger. In 2011, Egypt expects more than 15 million tourists to arrive.
The questioner is from Spain (?!). I think you're more likely to get caught in a Basque attack in Spain than to be attacked by a shark in Enipte.
“A week ago, the Spanish police detained four alleged members of the Basque terrorist organization ETA (ETA - Euzkadi Ta Azkatasuna, in the Basque language “Homeland and Freedom”) and seized during searches about 250 kilograms of explosives, weapons, materials for making bombs, various documentation, training sniper marksmanship."

Why digress from the topic, dear Hotline, we are talking about hushing up a very real danger. I do not want to risk my life for my money, so I try to clarify this issue for myself. And what is your goal?
аватар papa74
"in 2009 there was an attack in Hurghada" - there was a murder!

Why do people go on holiday to Egypt? Sit by the pool and drink alcohol? So already almost everywhere there is a water park, one wonders if this can not be done at home. Normal people just go there to the sea, the cleanest and most beautiful on earth. Should a person who is willing to spend hours admiring the beauties of flora and fauna swimming there be aware of the dangers lurking in these waters? Here on the Tour Pravda website, people share their impressions and experiences so that others do not get into trouble, and even more so do not die or become disabled. Well, who has the right to advice, the one who simply sells tours there or the person who constantly rests there and swam in almost all resorts. The question is far from rhetorical, because people are at risk, I repeat once again not only with my money, but with my life.
аватар ilka-pu
In my opinion, the discussion has become meaningless. It seems that one part of the people is trying (cowardly, like me) is trying to dissuade the "brave and brave" from going to Egypt. I am sure that if a person has decided something for himself, no one will convince him of anything, everyone is just subconsciously looking for supporters of HIS OPINION. So ... "We sing a song to the madness of the brave ...")))
аватар miki08
No one is trying to dissuade anyone, just food for thought. A brave person is one who is capable of an act for the sake of life, and if for the sake of heroism, then just a fool. There is no dispute between the two groups of vacationers, you are deeply mistaken, here are those "heroes" who sell tours there and risk other people's lives and those who go there very often and know how everything in one case or another can end.

The answer to my question from Vint28: "What is your goal?"
A person has several motivational levels for actions. Physiological urges, material needs, satisfaction of desires, self-realization, etc. Those. not always the action of a person pursues the achievement of certain goals.
In this case, I simply expressed my opinion about the possibility of hiding information about the attack of sharks in the resorts of Egypt.
I repeat. I think that today it is impossible. Imagine the chain of events following a shark attack on a swimming tourist. A lot of people are involved in the process and even more are witnesses. Only on the beach, half of the people have phones and cameras. And the media are ready to get hot facts at any cost, including paying for the services of hotel staff, hospitals, etc.
Notice I don't write about attacks. They were and will be. I appreciate the likelihood of the situation you formulated in the question.
