When there are no jellyfish?
I am planning a trip to Hurghada at the end of August - September. I am very interested in how things are with jellyfish during this period. Well, I don't like them. Tell me who knows. (was in October, in December - there were no jellyfish)

Jellyfish are more likely in spring, they have their breeding season and come closer to the shore.
But at the same time, the winds are predominantly
directed from the shore to the sea, so there really is no large number of jellyfish in Egypt.

Just got back from Marsa Alam. For the first three days there were so many jellyfish that there was nowhere to spit - they washed ashore in waves. to sail away from the pontoon, it was necessary to push through a layer of jellyfish. The height of the layer was about a meter, the width - 10-20 meters, the density - every 5 centimeters of the water space. When he swam without a camera, he simply dived under a layer of jellyfish. When with a camera (and I don’t have a box, you can’t dive deeper than a meter) - then he pushed the jellyfish with his hands. The body is not burned, but it stings the lips. But believe it, it's not scary, because behind the layer of jellyfish there was a beautiful and living sea.

There are very few jellyfish in the Red Sea, there are no deadly poisonous ones, but a burn is guaranteed when touched. Treat the burn with a solution of vinegar or alcohol, this will neutralize the stinging cells. There is an allergic reaction.
In April, we saw a couple in Sharm, and everything is fine

In Sharm, and just in autumn, sometimes there are many small, small pink jellyfish, the size of a coin. So they burn so that the feeling that you are not swimming in the sea, but in acid. But fortunately, their flocks are small. Skin lesions were present as red spots. Two days later they went away on their own.

Not for panic, but for information. A week ago I read in the press that an employee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations died in the Moscow hospital, who received a burn on contact with a jellyfish in Egypt. In the same note, it was written that these jellyfish are quite large, as far as I remember, the tentacles are about 3 meters.

You can read the topic "Death Rest" on the forum http://www.turpravda.ua/forum/topic.php?id=1&t=26557
There, all the dangers are described in detail, with links and photographs.
But do not think that everything is so scary. In many cases, this is a potential danger, and if you take basic precautions, everything will be fine.
And the policeman, unfortunately, did not read this topic. And he was seduced by the bright view of the siphonophore of the Portuguese boat. Its tentacles are not 3, but up to 30 meters!

The tentacles are about three meters - I think that if you have a mask on your face or at least glasses, such an instance can be seen from afar, and you won’t swim close. And she is unlikely to swim after.
If the water is so cloudy that you can’t see anything at all, then you shouldn’t swim. Life is more precious.

after all, my question is that THEY ARE VERY NOT PLEASANT TO ME, and if there are jellyfish in the sea, then it won’t come to burns for me - I just won’t force myself to enter the water, but then there’s no need to go - (((It’s just that I I was in those periods when there were no jellyfish, so I'm interested in how things are in other seasons.
