If you swim at the Dana Beach Hotel only on the beach, nothing will happen to you, because the beach is an artificially created lagoon, sharks will not swim there. In addition, buoys are installed there, for which it is not recommended to swim, because the open sea is also not yet open behind the buoys, but all sorts of water activities take place there: riding on bananas, on a board, etc.
In photo 5, this is clearly visible, then the spit goes in a semicircle, it sort of closes the lagoon, and only then - the open sea.
This is not the open sea. You need to go to the open sea on the left along the spit or on the right, along the pier and there go down the ladder into the sea.

Sharks are attacking in Sharm, while there have been no attacks in Hurghada yet. So do not worry and feel free to rest!

We are going with my family to Dana Beach on 12/14/10 and do not hesitate. Firstly, because for the first time in Egypt, secondly, because the child is counting the days and hours before departure, and thirdly, because I want to forget the bustle of the city and work. If it doesn’t work out to see the beauty of the Red Sea, well, then we will swim in the pool and sunbathe. I think impressions will still be enough

I think you will swim.
If there is no ban on excursions, take a trip to the Sharm el Naga reserve, the fish and reefs are right from the shore and the entry into the sea is sandy, and all the corals are fenced, you can’t go behind the fences, and you don’t need it, there is enough beauty around.

In Hurghada.
And there were also explosions in Taba, Dahab, divers disappeared in Marsa Alam, an excursion in Luxor was shot, the president was killed right on the government platform.
Nevertheless, Egypt receives about 10 million tourists a year.
Ride and rest. Everything will be very simple and understood on the spot. You will see hundreds of people swimming carelessly in Dana's lagoon.

Absolutely right!
You will orient yourself on the spot, look at the beach, go around it along the spit and understand that there is nothing terrible there.

Any beach that is not completely protected by a high coral reef is dangerous. If you paid attention, the last shark attack was on such a beach: in Naama Bay. So don't relax!
If you're in doubt, it's best not to go. And then you will constantly be afraid for your life. What is this holiday with fear?

Don't upset people! Have you been to this hotel yourself? Or did you not read the previous posts? The beach is an artificially created lagoon, practically closed on all sides, even at high tide the water rises only to the knees and not higher. You have not been to this hotel, so you cannot judge what kind of beach it is. And why did you decide that the shark attacks were on such a beach?
Yes, a shark can get there if it flies over a sand bar or swims under a pier, belly over the rocks.

And I will be in Dana with my husband and son from January 8! Of course, there are doubts, but only at the expense of diving - we really wanted to dive, and here are these reports about sharks ... So we can do without diving, but we are still looking forward to this trip!
oxana_magad - a question for you: will there really be mosquitoes there? Maybe take some cream from them or an aerosol ... what do you think?

We were in June, early July, we did not observe mosquitoes, although we took the spray with us. Maybe they are not there in the summer?
Although somewhere I read that there is, that's why they took the spray, but fortunately they did not use it.
But what about winter?

mohito, I read about mosquitoes on the sites in the reviews, they advise you to take something to spread yourself, and the raptor to the room, I don’t know, maybe in January they will all be blown away by the wind, but just in case I’ll take both, I’m going with my son 9 years old, and mosquitoes love him

in 2009, at the end of October, I was in a hotel in sh-e-sh, there were no mosquitoes, but in the bar, some small nasty midges were constantly biting my legs, we smeared whiskey or brandy on our legs, as the wind blew them away) here .

We arrived 2 days ago from Hurghada - swam for buoys on corals - we didn’t meet a single shark in 2 weeks ... The only thing is that all the legs were bitten by mosquitoes - everything is in a red dot so far. And in some little children, the whole body is like during chickenpox. I advise you to take something from mosquitoes, although the wind season has begun there now - I think they have become less.

My message is a little off topic: in the next thread, the issue of medical insurance was discussed. I hope that you know that for Egypt you need to conclude additional medical insurance. If you have AOK, it costs 6.00 euros per year per person.

Let me disagree with you:
in the Desert Rose Resort 95% of Russian speakers and 5% of the rest of the population, and in
hotel Dana Beach 95% of foreigners and 5% of Russian speakers. Do you catch the difference?
