An Austrian woman was taken to a hospital in the Egyptian city of Hurghada and died of injuries.

An elderly tourist has died after being bitten by a shark on his leg and arm at a popular Egyptian resort.

According to authorities, the 68-year-old woman was barely alive after the shocking attack and died in an ambulance on the way to Niles Hospital in Hurghada on Friday.

The haunting footage shows a bloodstained sea as a woman tries to swim and witnesses scream in horror from a nearby pier.

The levitation device is thrown into the water hoping to bring it to shore, but it floats.

The mako shark is believed to have attacked Austrian tourists who were not revived by rescuers. It is unknown how he got to the beach.

Egyptian authorities have closed the Red Sea coast for three days, banning all “marine activities” such as diving, snorkeling, windsurfing and sailing.

The man on the dock tries to save her by throwing a flotation device at the woman.

Shark attacks are relatively rare off Egypt’s Red Sea coast.

In 2020, a Ukrainian boy lost his arm and an Egyptian tour guide lost his leg in an attack.

In 2010, a wave of attacks near Sharm El Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula killed one European tourist and maimed several more.

Egypt’s Red Sea resorts are some of the country’s top beach destinations and are popular with European tourists.

Divers are fascinated by the coral reefs that offer a rich and colorful marine life.

Efforts have been made to revive Egypt’s tourism sector, which has suffered from years of political instability and, more recently, pandemics and wars in Ukraine.
