You might also chance upon a shark during your boat ride. A paddleboarder, Christian Bildsten, was paddling along the Raha Beach canal early in the morning when he saw the creature circling him.

Well, Christian didn’t plan to capture this encounter- it was shot by chance by his “follow me” drone, which was directly overhead.

The Video Posted On Social Media Did Grab A Lot Of Eyeballs
Christian, an IT manager, posted this footage on social media, and it sure did manage to grab a lot of eyeballs. For the shark, it’s not clear if it was the same whale shark that was seen near Abu Dhabi island’s inlets and waterways over the winter. If it is, then it’s a harmless shark that was first seen in September, having made its way into the Raha canals after following a plankton bloom. It stayed in the area for weeks before heading several kilometres up to the waters of Al Bahia in early November.
