A video showing the appearance of a dangerous mako shark in the al-Gouna area, north of Hurghada went viral on Saturday.
A diver in the al-Gouna and Hurghada region Karim Sherif, wrote on Facebook that two sharks had been spotted near Hurghada and El-Gouna.
He explained in a post that the presence of sharks at this time is normal due to the beginning of the mating and egg-laying season between April and July, and warned divers and swimmers to avoid deep or open water.
A source in the Red Sea reserves authority said that they had received a report about the appearance of a mako shark in the Abu-Minqar area, and monitoring and follow-up research teams were mobilized.
He stated that during the search operations no sharks were detected.
