First of all, do not forget that you are going to a 3 * hotel (not to be confused with Europe). Because in Egypt it is very difficult to find a good hotel of such star rating.
Well, for those who are still going to this hotel just to lie on the beach and spend more time in the room, you will not find comfort here.
The hotel is pretty shabby and needs an immediate overhaul.
Miniature rooms, broken plumbing, an ever-breaking toilet bowl (everything is attached with adhesive tape), bad smells of stagnant water from abundant watering of the territory can spoil your mood and, in principle, the whole rest.
Problems with glasses and cups, I think they have a shortage of this type of dishes (maybe because it was high season).
Those who have a delicate stomach do not recommend to go because the food is spicy, monotonous. But you won’t leave hungry (breakfasts with a large selection of pastries will save you). Beer lovers have nothing to do here, they pour it into beakers. To all this, cockroaches were seen in the kitchen.
The advice is this: if you are settled in a bad room, then don’t be upset, pay extra 10 bucks to the suitcase porter and he will take you to a better room, if you are not satisfied, change until you are sure that you want to stay in the chosen room.
You need to put food in just a spoonful to pick up something to your taste. I think everyone will find something for themselves.
If you need something (such as toilet paper, liquid soap), do not be rude to the staff, but simply insistently demand.
You can’t leave a dollar for cleaning, they clean it without it, I’m not sure that they will spin swans from towels because they are extremely hard.
Well, for those who came not only to lie on the beach, but also to visit excursions (of which there are enough for every taste and budget), then the hotel is just right. Enough to eat and sleep.
Excursion to Cairo (Pyramids) about 55 bucks.
Tip: a very long ride (about 7 hours one way) take a neck pillow, food, plenty of water, comfortable shoes, a hat (the sun is merciless). Clothing should be made of natural fabric and it is desirable to cover the shoulders (to avoid burning in the sun). Tiresome but interesting.
Excursion to a paradise island (about 30 bucks).
The yacht will be brought to this island. They will give you a mask with a snorkel and flippers, take only a towel, cream and water with you, the brave lads will feed you on board.
On the island, the sand is white as flour, which does not heat up at all, the clearest water where you can see corals and fish and also take beautiful pictures if you find a free place because there are a lot of people there.
Excursion called jeep safari (about 30 bucks).
Like everyone. They will bring you to the desert in jeeps, there you will ride ATVs, buggies, camels. They will take you to a Bedouin village where they will feed you in addition.
Take with you: arafatka (a large checkered scarf costs about 2 bucks, for safety you will be wrapped with the same scarf, then you will understand why. Sunglasses, in order to avoid getting sand in your eyes. Shoes should be closed and preferably socks. The sand is very hot and in slippers It will be uncomfortable. And of course, a lot of water. Clothing should only be made of natural fabric, preferably light and covering the shoulders again. It is very hot in the desert.
Diving (about 25 bucks).
Anyone with breathing problems or just a fear of depth should not meddle here. In general, for this lesson (I’ll tell you from personal experience) you need to prepare. For a person who descends to the depths with a balloon for the first time, it tickles the nerves a little. But if you take the risk, a little advice. Don't fuss. If you are frightened of something or your heart is jumping with delight, you just need to even out your breathing, because all the time it will seem to you that there is not enough air. The instructor will not let you go anywhere. After diving, there may be a slight dizziness or slight nausea (someone likes it). Take water, towel, cream with you. They will feed you on board.
A few more tips:
The water in Egypt is not drinkable. For brushing your teeth, and especially for drinking, bottled water can be bought at any store.
Voucher. Without it, you can’t go anywhere, the police can stop and check to avoid problems, it is advisable to always carry it with you.
It's not worth it for a lonely girl to roam the streets. Although there are a lot of tourists and police on the streets, be careful. True, no one will grab and drag you anywhere if you yourself do not want it : )
You should not take gifts from locals, then they will ask for a fee.
In stores they take in pounds and bucks.
For girls (be sure to buy yourself oil), I especially liked the lotus.
And most importantly, be sure to take only good moods with you on a trip and you will have a great rest.
Have a nice holiday and I hope my review will be useful to readers.
