Are there aggressive birds (crows) attacking tourists on Egyptian beaches in the morning, and is the hotel pool safe due to bird droppings?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
Yes — at some resorts crows can attack people near the pier early in the morning (defending a nest), but they're calm during the day when there are more people around. Also avoid the pool early morning: bird droppings (and even a dead pigeon) have been spotted in the water.
What the community said
Early in the morning near the far-right pier, a crow landed on people's heads and attacked several passersby in a row — likely defending a nest. During the day, the same area was calm with sunbeds and no aggression.

Another traveler reported a crow swooping at their head near the pier early morning (claws touched but no injury), and it also attacked a man walking behind them, striking multiple times.

It's better to avoid the hotel pool early in the morning — birds defecate in the water, and once a dead pigeon was seen floating on the surface.
