We bought a tour to a fairly good charm hotel. Jewish tour for 8 nights and 6 days (did not pay attention, quickly processed) late arrival and very early departure. Further on the work of the anex in Egypt. About the transfer. Arriving at the airport at 17-20, we got to the hotel closer to 21 hours. It is better to immediately go by taxi (to our hotel about 10-15 minutes for 7-10 dollars). If they would have waited so long, they would have left immediately, it's not about money. The situation with the return transfer to the airport is no better. Departure at 4-20, the bus arrived at 4-30, we arrived at the airport at 5-20 (I remind you to go 15 minutes), departure at 8-20. Anex uses the same shit air - Azur Air. We flew to Egypt without rescheduling the flight 40 minutes later, back also 40 minutes. with a transfer, which you learn about only at the airport and about an hour without an official transfer (only 1h 40m). Further, about the guides and employees of anex in Egypt. The hotel had a very necessary meeting with a guide at 8-40, to which, according to them, you must definitely come because you need to resolve the issue with the reverse registration on the plane. Due to the very early collection (we don’t know the hotel until we figured out what and how in the morning, the territory is huge) we didn’t have breakfast before the collection. The guide, for about 2 hours, marinated with stories about Egypt and suggestions for excursions, without touching on the main issue. We barely managed to have breakfast before the closing of the main restaurant. Further on excursions. Everything turned out to be a lie. We were with a small child, so we only ordered an excursion around the city and at sea on a large liner with a bathyscaphe on board and scuba diving (for a fee). Excursion around the city - visited one mosque (15 min), a new monument (5-10 min), an abandoned Hollywood amusement park (30 min), where there were low-quality reduced copies of dinosaurs (complete sucks) and brought for a couple of hours to a store on the outskirts with spirits and all sorts of medicinal oils, where we were not interested in anything and we were very tired in waiting; then they promised a restaurant with a tasting of fresh seafood, including crabs, lobsters, but in fact they fed them frozen dry rubber shrimp and some bony fish; then again to the store for sweets (the kickback scheme apparently works) and the day was sent to the furnace. The second promised excursion is called "fish" on a 4-deck new French liner with an observation minus the first floor of a bathyscaphe with a stop in 3 lagoons, where there are super coral reefs with a separately ordered dive and free swimming near the reefs. There should be entertainment on the liner, animators, a disco, alcoholic drinks for free, a descent into the sea from the upper deck along the path, like in an aqua park, in short, a wild party. The cost is 80 dollars + 20 immersion. In fact, it was the following. The liner is not a liner at all, just an old 3-deck boat, and such a one that has already seen a lot. They didn’t see anything special from the deck of the bathyscaphe, the water was dark, they walked in depth, dark fish swam from above, like crucian carp. They caught up with as many people as tyulki in a jar. There were barely enough places for the people on each deck, to move to other decks, when there is no sense there, they went in and out. There were no alcoholic drinks at all. To descend from the water slide, you need to remove the chain, which was quite inconvenient, so I left the idea of ​​​​descent alone. We visited only one bay, not three, and dived there. Everything was chaotic, because of the overabundance of people, it was difficult to get into the water, near the boat, the little ones with their parents swam close in vests. During the dive, the weights from the belt fell off, I had to surface, tormenting myself, they nevertheless dived. At the bottom, instead of a calm view, the operator with the camera constantly interfered. Asked $30 for a photo. and for the video 30 dollars. They also took pictures on a boat, they asked for 10-more or less normal photos, first 100 dollars, then 80. Photographers were sent professionally, he took enough photos both at sea and on the ship. I didn’t see the animation either, or maybe it was where I couldn’t get to. Turn on the music - have fun. The boat from the port to the lagoon sailed maybe a little more than a kilometer (floated min 10). We dined on the boat and then just stood for a little over an hour. Swimming at this time was prohibited. We returned to the hotel at sunset. The tour was much shorter. Departure from the hotel should be at 7-20, we left at 9 something, drove for a long time, collected, delivered on the way back, gathered for a long time in the port, as a result, we spent a little time on the boat on the excursion, and visited only one bay. In Hurghada, a similar boat cost 50 dollars, diving, fishing, massage for 10 minutes were included there. , with the option of a paid longer one, there were 4-5 times fewer people, sailed much further, the reefs were the same, the photos were taken for 10 dollars. I don’t understand who is interested in the bathyscaphe option. It's like looking through a pillow through binoculars.
