Now, unfortunately, all the beaches of Sharm are closed, you can’t swim anywhere. I think the situation will be resolved by the New Year, the Egyptian authorities are catching sharks in the coastal zone. But we must understand that sharks in the Red Sea were, are and will be. And adhere to certain rules, the most important of which is DO NOT FEED FISH NEAR THE SHORE OR FROM PONTOON, because. there is a version that sharks swim for their prey, i.e. fish to the shore and there they already find easier prey - TOURISTS.

But be that as it may, in my opinion, even breathing the sea air and soaking up the sun is much more pleasant than freezing in our winter. You can just sunbathe, swim in the pool, go on excursions, in general, gain impressions.

Go to Egypt and not swim in the sea?
If the tour is not booked, then maybe it's better to go to Hurghada?

People who have already bought tours are shocked - they wanted to swim in the sea, and they are offered to breathe in the sea air and soak up the sun - initially unjustified expectations.
If in this situation I had bought a tour before these events, I would go and be able to breathe in the sea air and soak up the sun, but now I would never have bought a tour.
There are other countries, and there are safer forms of recreation.

in any case, it will be unprofitable to rent a tour, so it’s better to fly ... And then the media inflate your panic there, everything is calm here in Sharm. And sharks are everywhere and this must be put up with.

And I'm talking about the same - if you have already bought a tour, you MUST go.
I believe that you are calm, given the mentality of the Arabs. But this calmness can be disturbed by bathers. Who knows what this shark (sharks) has in mind.
Since I am diving, it makes no sense for me to go at all, many sites are closed.
So hello new places!

I am not a pessimist, but most likely SHESh as a resort to which they go to admire the underwater world has come to an end.
Fighting sharks is useless, if there were attacks, then they will happen again. No one can give security guarantees now (
And you can swim in the pool in the off-season in other, more civilized places. For example, in the Canaries)

In 3 months, everything will be forgotten. In March there will be no free places in good hotels. Remember when the hotel was blown up. I think terrorism will be cooler than sharks. tours?

The Canaries, of course, are more civilized, BUT for $ 300 for a week you can go there, even in the lowest season. And why do you think that sharks have encroached on tourists for the first time this year???? raise information on the Internet - this happens every year, but this year there are many more victims and it is very sad, but we ourselves are also a little to blame for this, I mean tourists, and not only Russians. When I worked as a hotel guide, everyone told tourists not to feed the fish, that this was fraught with consequences, and in the morning I saw half of the check-in leave the restaurant with bags of bread or a couple of buns, no matter the amount, even feeding the fish to the shore. And fish have always been the main food of sharks, the fish swam to the shore or to the panton, and then the sharks ... Plus, some other factors influenced, the cannibal says, hurt the tail fin and finds easy prey ....
HER will be caught, most of the sharks living near the shore will be caught, and everything will fall into place.
And there is no panic not among the Arabs, but among the tourists, today tourists flew away from me, rested in the Azura club, 2 weeks, bought for several days, and when it all started, they began to go on excursions, they were satisfied with the rest. And many do.

Sharks are not explosive vans that can be protected from with concrete bollards, and they are not reckless drivers that can be reined in with fines. If one realized that there is easy prey, others will come after her. Even if not immediately, even in a month or two, but there will only be more of them.
If things go according to this scenario, then those hotels that will be the first to acquire bars on the beaches will win. To the full depth. And firms offering caged shark diving, like in films from Cousteau. :)

I liked it: "Everything is calm in Sharm")))))) I chatted at various "common rooms", people have been describing a bunch of non-fatal encounters with sharks in recent months, only everything is hidden. What a damage to the tourist industry Yegi! I was about to go to my beloved Red Sea, but I changed my plans drastically. ((It is not a meeting with a shark that is terrible (you have to be ready for this from the very beginning), but the fact that the staff and the so-called "rescuers" are just bad for you .... ((If only there was no publicity. And to be another unfaithful, eaten by a shark in front of the imperturbable natives is even dumb! The tourists themselves saved each other mostly.

It's not a secret. Nothing special, we are not going to the sea. We are flying to meet New Year and Christmas in Istanbul))) We often hang out there with the whole family. We plan to get to Yalova hot springs for several. days. And in the spring and summer, in terms of Cuba or Brazil (I dream of getting there). Yes! About prices: I took tickets on the Aeroflot card for three round-trip at 37,000 rubles. A hotel for a week at $ 700 turned out, well, for a walk ... how much we will take away)))

If you go to Istanbul without the sea, besides, it’s not hot at all, it’s raining, it’s dank and the wind is better than one and a half times cheaper to come to the same Sharm or Hurghada, here you can at least sunbathe !!! If you are afraid of sharks, you can go to the Dead Sea for 2-3 days, it will not cost so much if you are from Sharm.
To Natasha 17087: Is it really a discovery for you that there are sharks in the Red Sea... It was never hidden and every year, all attacks were voiced by the media, look at least on the Internet... The Red Sea is a protected area, it is full of sharks and poisonous fish, and tiny killer shells.

Indeed, the media have done their job, it can be seen that this year is in the hands of someone! Sharks really were always there and there were also inspirations (I had a friend who lost his leg in 2007), but before that this did not stop anyone from traveling to Egypt. I prefer other countries to Egypt, but it's amazing how these events are now being sucked up by everyone! There must be a culture and recreation and behavior. We have all been to Egypt and have all seen tourists in the sea with the pleasure of feeding fish, right?????

Anyuta: 100% right... Most importantly, no one gives true information, the media only cause panic, I got a call yesterday from some Russian newspaper and asked for photos of empty beaches and overcrowded pools, they really asked, they said that their correspondent they don’t have it here, but they really need photos ... I imagine what they wrote there ... I explained to the calling girl that there is nothing like that here, that people are sunbathing on the beaches and there is not a single empty beach ....

To Karina-Mango: If you carefully read the comments, then I don’t express any surprise about sharks, but I’m only surprised at the attitude of the staff towards us tourists =) We fell in love with fish from the first trip (not the first time in Egi, sorry) . And we go to Istanbul because we love this city +))). And we will get a tan (this is not the main thing for us) in the spring, especially since we have only recently been in Tunisia. Now, regarding the Dead Sea, I warn you, this is my purely personal opinion: A PUDDLE with heavy water and no fish ((I apologize if I offended someone's feelings). We didn't like it. compared incomparable things - the Red Sea with its variety of living creatures, the healing Dead Sea and Istanbul with its architecture, location and cultural monuments =))) And your comment only confirms the opinion that now Egypt has no choice but to attract cheap tours and nothing to do for safety, I understand business)) I wish you all a positive, ahead of the new year and new travels. Take care of yourself))))

Rest in Egypt is the Red Sea!!! Of course, there have always been shark attacks, mostly on the high seas, and not near hotels. If the Egyptians do not spend money on protecting beaches from sharks (there are many types of protection), their tourism business is screwed up.
We will go to NG (we took a tour before the events), I think this is the last trip to this resort.

I absolutely agree with you about the Dead Sea. It is not easy for a healthy person to swim there, and for some categories of patients it is not recommended at all. This is not an alternative to the Red Sea at all.
But after all, the light did not converge on Sh-el-Sh, there are other places, I really liked Hurghada, and Makadi Bay, and Marsa Alam, and there is also the Red Sea. And many other resorts, there is a choice.

Then Natasha1708: why are you so direct with the call....
I was just surprised that you wanted to go to Sharm, and changed it to Istanbul, just two very opposite types of vacation ... You yourself wrote "I was going to my beloved Red Sea, but changed my plans dramatically. ((It's terrible not to meet with shark (you have to be ready for this from the very beginning)", so I was surprised that you decided to change not for FLORIDA, for example, but for winter Istanbul, that's what surprised .... And Egypt has always been and will be cheap, anyway while Mubarok is alive...

The key phrase in my review: "changed HER plans CARDINALLY" IMHO =)))))))))))) By the way, infa for thought for everyone .. my friends have just returned from Sharm. They found out about the sharks by chance, turned on the TV (which is rarely done on vacation)))) NO ONE WARNED ANYONE and did not explain at the hotel why the beach was closed, the tourists were looking for loopholes where to snorkel on their own, AND FOUND!!! They rested in Naama Bay. Be extremely careful.
