The most interesting and safe reef in Sharm - where?
We fly for snorkeling. But without dangerous moray eels, stingrays, sharks, as with children. Everyone praises the reefs of the bay of Ras Um Sid, but no matter how you look at the video, there are solid dangerous animals ... Or did I wind myself up by reviewing the video?

And how do you explain to dangerous animals that you can’t swim where children are?
Don't enjoy reefs with fears like that. Fly to Hurghada

Yes, there are no dangerous animals there during the usual snork. To see a moray eel or a stingray is a great success, Shark ... how much time has already passed since the last shark scandal, about 10 years. Those were the times, beauty! Now we need to be more afraid of PCR tests and Diy of all sorts.

And kids, how old are they? Pay attention to the pontoon in the hotel, floating, plastic - it is not always easy to climb it. You need a stationary pontoon in a quiet bay. Alternatively, Sharks Bay.

Oleksii64 children are not small - 10, 12 years old. Deal with pontoons. But if a moray eel lives right on the reef of the hotel, they won’t enter the water

There were a lot of stingrays in Ras Um Sid when I was there a long time ago. To see a moray eel - you need luck. Here are hedgehogs and lionfish ... You always need to be careful, there will be something in any bay.

there are no dangerous house reefs in Sharm

what is a reef - a ridge of underwater or low surface rocks in shallow water, formed during the erosion of the bottom, shores or due to the accumulation of remnants of colonial corals, mollusks, etc. This is a place where a lot of marine life lives. You just have to explain to the children that you can't touch those who are under water, then they won't touch them. IMHO, this is not a child's fear, but yours, passed on to children. At first you will understand that marine life is not scary if you do not touch them. The rule is one and it is simple: you can only watch. That's all.

ydein sorry but your request causes cognitive dissonance you write that the main purpose of your trip / vacation is "Let's fly for snorkeling " and without dangerous fish. In addition to moray eels, stingrays are also surgeon fish and lionfish.
Now you can recommend even a children's mini reef albatros park + albatros blue, but no one can guarantee the absence of dangerous fish at the time of your vacation
I will support "You just need to explain to children that you can not touch those who are under water, then they will not touch them "

Oleksii64 the last tragic incident with sharks near Sharm was in October 2020 in the Ras Mohammed reserve

Since 2012 I have been in different hotels. Moray met a couple of times on house reefs. I saw Skatov only on excursions, when guides drove them at a depth of 5 meters. I have never seen a shark. But everywhere I saw surgeons, lionfish, hedgehogs. Of the "dangerous" like no more met. The main thing is not to climb to the fish, but to look at a distance and not touch them with your hands.

In case you are considering other countries -
In Turkey, there are lionfish seen in Mersin, near the sunken city of Kekova, Kas, Fethiye. In March of this year, a dead shark (photo) washed ashore in Finike
And even at domestic resorts - the other day in Odessa, a dolphin bit a child by the hand.

And where in Egypt is a reef with at least some dangerous animals? Where to find these moray eels, rays and sharks? And it's already boring.

In Naama Bay, right on the beach of the Novotel, where the coral part lives, a moray eel lives about 1 meter, and the year before last, I saw a stone perch there, well, probably more than 1 meter, as for "safe reefs" there are none ... almost any coral will sting if it to come, I am silent about lionfish, hedgehogs and molluscs, an ordinary surgeon fish zealously defends its territory.

The probability of seeing a shark or sharks is Berenice, there are many and varied #solid dangerousanimals

Sometimes I see lionfish in shallow water where children swim, and this is not even a reef, as they rightly said above - either overcome your fears and follow safety precautions, or choose another resort.
аватар rikitavi
If you search YouTube for "shark attack Egypt" and read the comments on the video, you will see that no one is safe from meeting them near the reefs near the shore. And to this day there are such cases.
аватар nadin65
In addition to the dangerous listed fish and corals, there are often stone fish in shallow water. Who is attentive, he saw. Usually she buries herself a little in the sand, and when a person approaches, she runs away, but there have been cases, they have come ...
Another dangerous Cone shell, found in the surf, in no case be picked up - it releases a sting.
The main thing is not to touch anything and anyone in the sea with your hands.
There is an informative article: Dangerous inhabitants of the Red Sea.
The Red Sea is beautiful!, follow the rules of conduct, and it will be your favorite too.

Everywhere. I haven’t seen a single reef without moray eels and stingrays. (I don’t go directly to Hurghada)
In Makadi, there are blackfins and meter-long Napoleons on the reef.
Sharks - you need to be able to see them.
They do not always walk on the reef, more often in blue, behind the backs of snorkelers who are passionate about the reef)))
аватар dmitriy_ed
If you can in more detail blackfins in makadi, where is the greatest chance to catch? Yes, and I didn’t see Napoleon, I dived near the palace on bumps, tia high.stella and labranda moray eels often saw lionfish and stingrays, too, but I missed these ...
аватар Kasja23
Blackfins on the outer reef of Stella at seven in the morning. You need to look in the blue, they are cautious. They immediately leave
Napoleon - on the site between the Royal Pharaoh and the hotel under construction, there is a wall, at a depth.
аватар dmitriy_ed
Ponal-thank you!
Napoleon is from the piano to Sahl Hasheesh from the pier and row to the left?
in January, I’ll roam, a bit is already left!

Ras umm el sid)))) moray eels, there are stingrays, but they are deep and you are unlikely to dive to them without special equipment. We have been to the Reef Oasis with children more than once - everything is fine, no one caught a single fish, no one was bitten, no one was stung))) https://youtu.be/X1H0jH718Xo
