I think it got it's name because there were sharks to be found there at one stage (many years ago), but they have been driven away now.

No doubt someone will come on here and give a different reason.

I thought the Red Sea had a large shark population?? Just not many people see them.

if my memory serves me right ,i once read somewhere that the larger sharks won't enter the red sea because the water at the bottom end is to rough ,i might be wrong but its stuck in my mind

I've definitely read about Hammerhead sharks around Tiran Island.

Not from sharks in the water :tup

Occasional attakcs are probably barracuda attracted to flashy jewellery rather than shark :yikes

Maybe some sharks arouund the town though :smokin

There must be coral at Coral Bay, but does anyone know whether ther is an na'ama at Na'ama bay, and what is it :scratch:

Simple answer to the question

Yes

There are Sharks in any large body of water but if you see one you will be lucky

and after 2 holidays of snorkelling and diving in the Sharm area including 2 weeks in Sharks Bay I have only seen one juvenile black tip reefer so far away I did not get chance to show my dive buddy it shot away that fast it was scared of us
