Has anyone been to Sharm in March or April 2011? How about sharks? Are the beaches open?
We are going to Sharm on May 8 and we think whether we will be able to swim in the sea or not?

The restriction on swimming has been lifted for a long time, so you can swim, and if you wish, you can go on a yacht to the marine reserve, diving is also allowed ...

The bathing area is limited by buoys.
Do not swim for the buoys!

"They let you into the sea, but they let you swim only in a tiny area near the pier, limited by buoys. And no one wants cupazzo in such a corral, so everyone sticks out on the shore or by the pools"

DESSOLE ROYAL ROJANA RESORT 5*
"IN CONCERNING BATHING. When we arrived, a black flag hung on the beach. Needless to say, the tour operator did not warn about such joy? But, despite this, everyone swam perfectly, whoever wanted where. The lifeguard whistled only if someone was far away But on the 23rd of the day, they unexpectedly dragged everyone onto the pontoon - they somehow explained that they saw sharks. Representatives of the hotel said that they say the guard took a picture of two sharks on his mobile phone (in the meantime, the guard has nothing corny to take pictures with - he only has his megaphone with a buzzer and a walkie-talkie). They were allowed to swim only in shallow water. The next day they already said that large fish simply swam to the beach, but they were not allowed to swim, because sharks could come for the fish. In general, we flew away on the 27th - to the depth and At the same time, neighboring hotels and even Radzhanovsky second beach swam wherever they wanted and water activities worked to their full potential. so no one said anything."

"And, of course, the situation with the beach was not very pleasantly surprised. Why did the tour operator not even hint that a black flag was hung in the beach hotel for swimming"

I was in this bay myself. Data as of May 1, 2011:
Hilton 40x40 meters. They let you swim over the reef.
In Concord only at depth. If you approach the corals, immediately whistle.
Sunrise did not look, but also, only between two pontoons (buoys are stretched, see photo).
Savoy-Sierra... there are NO people on the beach. For a week I saw four people on the pontoon (the day before yesterday) ... I don’t know if they were swimming.

And what is it doing? So it's not far from a nervous breakdown. We are counting the days until vacation, costumes, fins, masks are already waiting for their finest hour in a suitcase... and now papa74 made us happy again.
papa74, tell me honestly, what's so bad? Did you sit by the pool? People write (too lazy to look for links) that there are warnings about the dangers of swimming, but they are ignored and they swim wherever they want. Others wrote that they had signed a piece of paper, that they were sailing on their own responsibility and that no obstacles were put in their way... This was inspiring. It all depends on the hotel.

ljalja, black flags hung on the beaches in Egypt even when no one had heard of sharks. They are hung out and when the sea is a little stormy, be sure - when the sun sets. This is a formality. Swimming or not when the flag is hanging - in most cases, the tourist himself accepts

Did you read the paper?
He swam at 6.00 when the whistlers were sleeping.
After 7.30 they don’t give any more. In any case, all the hotels in White Knight Bay (Savoy, Sierra, Sunraz Ailen, Concord, Hilton Sharsk Bay, and no one sailed to us from Savita ...)
.... well, or other beaches ...
What's up with the food
And it's HILTON!

I don't want to look like an optimistic fool, but ... The absence of people on the beach does not mean anything. In winter, in Marsa Alam, except for us, no one swam from the pontoon, even when it was completely calm. The Italians joyfully swam on excursions, they spent their free time by the pool. A couple of Polish divers were leaving in the morning, a couple of Germans went snorkeling to a place they knew only. And the beach was empty and pantone, in fact, too, because. We snorkeled at a nearby hotel. And there were 10-15 of us there, that is. visually the beach was empty.
Maybe now the Savoy and Siera are also not very crowded and therefore there are few people who want to swim? (With hope)

Dad, now tell me honestly, did you swim freely in White Knight Bay this time (from Savita to Savoy)? To the buoys and no further (as I understand it, the "whistlers" do not let them go further)? Tell me honestly, otherwise there are really a lot of interested intervened in the dispute ... You're the last one from really "our" audience who returned from there!

I have already written.
"I myself swam at 6.00 when the whistlers were sleeping.
After 7.30 no longer give "
Those. what was done in 1.5-2 hours is yours.
Then only the "zone" of 40x40 meters.
Moreover, the whistlers sense power and whistle even without a reason (even if they didn’t swim out for the buoys, but only came close to it). Landing at 17:00!
_______________________________________________
Although I found a way to swim (not in a hotel), I'm not going to publicly tell.
Who really needs to let me know in a personal.

papa74, go to your branch ..., even after arriving from a vacation and having a rest, you yourself are trying to pass the rest to others. And all the sellers of excursions do not give you rest, you would have at least in this topic where they don’t ask about excursions, even if they were silent.

but there are so many locals that you can’t rest calmly.
Moreover, in addition to those scurrying about on the shore, there are also "watchers" on the rock.
Call up, shout something to each other ...
And obviously not the protection of the beach (((
