Shark Sighting Shuts Down Makadi Bay Beach in Egypt, Raises Safety Questions

MAKADI BAY, Egypt – Visitors to Makadi Bay, Egypt, experienced an unexpected disruption to their holiday this week after local authorities closed a section of the Red Sea coast due to a confirmed shark sighting. The closure, affecting the entire beach and Makadi Bay, was implemented as a precautionary measure to ensure public safety. The incident was documented by a tourist, vanessahoernemann, who shared footage of the clear blue waters and the subsequent sighting of a shark's fin near the shore. The video, uploaded on September 11, 2025, shows the tranquil beach environment before highlighting the shark's presence. Despite the official closure, the tourist noted that a neighboring hotel appeared to allow its guests to continue swimming, raising questions about consistent safety protocols across the resort area. Authorities have not yet identified the specific species of shark involved in the sighting. The duration of the beach closure remains undetermined, as officials assess the situation to ensure it is safe for tourists to return to the water.
