What time do sharks swim?
I noticed that reviews about sharks (near this hotel) are summer, mostly. I also know that predators come out after sunset. Are there any other signs? The husband is not against the predatory company, but I am against it)), soon we are going to this hotel. Important warnings and rules of conduct with this predator. Maybe someone will correct me. Thank you.

Sharks have never been seen in this hotel (that is, in the sea). In Sharm, in Nabq, I personally saw a flock of small ones: about a meter long. I haven't seen it on Mars.

Yes, dad74, you are right as always. I saw your pictures of sharks, to put it mildly scary. I would not want to meet them.

Well, you are unlikely to see Longimanus. Yes, and ordinary reef ones do not often come across. On a recent trip, ten people purposefully swam for 6-8 hours a day half a kilometer from shore in the hope of seeing a shark.
And only two succeeded. And then - briefly. Please note that all sharks in the photographs are "from the tail", i.e. flee from the photographer. The exception is rara74 and his Carcharinus Longimanus.

What sharks, what are you smoking there))))
Reef sharks are harmless, they feed on fish.
Longimanus never approaches the shore.
Well .. once in a hundred years, you might be lucky to see her, and then if you don’t attack her, she won’t touch you)) Different lionfish-jellyfish are poisonous, yes.
But not sharks.

You say reef sharks are harmless. The shark is the ultimate predator. A predator is always a danger. There are no harmless sharks. There comes a moment when the most harmless shark attacks. For example, a shark is a nanny.

Well, in general, yes, even a cat can attack in certain circumstances. To be fair
all the same, I must say that when I was in Thailand, a reef shark bit through the palm of one vacationer.
But all the locals said that this was a force majeure and this usually does not happen. By the way, for some reason, sharks are more interested in snorkelers on the surface
than scuba divers.

In Sharm, sharks swam in shallow water, small somewhere up to a meter. Usually with poor visibility in waves. I did not observe good visibility

I stayed there in October. the wind is a frequent visitor. in the morning you can find calm on the sea, then the wind. so.. get up early. The weather at this time is good, don't freeze!)), but the black or red flag hangs often. what to do! windy place. but there is a nearby port of Galeb and Abu Dabab. there is a fairy tale) on the right, besides, the neighbors have a bay, one might say, within walking distance

when I rested - they let me. and they came to us from those hotels .. walked along the coast) Italians, Germans ..
there is a guard standing on the "dune", he can shout of course. but our man goes and that's it)) they don't grab hands like)
and on the Resta Reef beach there is a small lagoon, to the main line of corals - everyone swims there when it storms. and from the five neighboring people come to swim (the owner is one, it is allowed to move around without question). there are no such small lagoons on the territory of the Resta Grand five. The pontoon, by the way, and for 2 hotels, I hope they fixed it)) I was in the spring - there was a storm, it was slowly repaired, we swam like that, going over the stones.
and on the territory of Resta Grand there is a large pool, from the Reef there people go to lie around the pool)
this is the symbiosis

and at the reception of the Resta Grand, we were offered a trip to abu dabab with a fare. there is also an excursion and organized visits to the sea - on turtles and corals.
and the hotel just takes you to the beach (the entrance is also paid, I don’t remember the cost, but not expensive), when it’s stormy on the hotel’s beach

So don't fall for this bait. You just go out onto the highway, stop any car, the prices are 5-7 bucks El Quseir, 5 - to the turtles in the bay) (it is not necessary to go to Abu Dabbab, there is also Abu Mubarak from the hotel - a great place, the same turtles only
drive 10 minutes)

Yes, this advice does not apply to girls.
Well, I don’t know, find a company for yourself, is it difficult or what?
In this case, it will even be cheaper, but keep in mind
that the carrier of course will immediately say the price is higher
several times, ie -50? -ten! -Well, okay ... this is a normal dialogue for Egypt)) When you arrive at the place
tell the driver that "10" is for three. This is normal in Egypt.

yes, my intuition didn’t let me down, it’s not for nothing that this question bothered me, at first they wanted to go to Sharm, but Masa turned out to be better in terms of price-quality ratio, except that 7-8 hours of rest are lost on the way there and back
