Как все обстоит How is it going

The hotel is quite normal for a 2*. If you are traveling with meals included, then you can note that dinner is more or less normal, breakfast is purely symbolic. By the way, breakfast includes coffee about which you need to remind the waiter, as a rule, he forgets to put it. You can have a normal meal for $7. In the hotel, no one from the staff knows Russian, but it is quite easy to speak in broken English.

To the sea 300 meters, but to the beach 1 km. The beach of the Royal Palace Hotel, to which you will be issued a pass every day at the Brigitte Hotel.

For those who travel to Hurghada for the first time, I want to note that in the city of Hurghada itself there are no coral reefs near the coast. You can swim with divers on the coral reef - yacht, all day, 2 dives of 30-40 minutes + lunch costs $25. Aladdin diver's office right in the hotel. You can go out of town. So the nearest coral reef can be reached as follows. First, take a minibus to Dahar Street.

Then walk about 4 km and further towards the city of Guna or by taxi. There, among the new buildings, gaps begin to appear where you can walk to the sea for free. There are corals there, but much poorer compared to those that you can swim with divers. By the way, do not go there without fins or special shoes, otherwise you will definitely step on a sea urchin on the corals and you will hold on to one place until the end of your vacation.

Regarding excursions, I want to note that it is 200 m to the tourist center of Hurghada. There are various travel companies that will offer you excursions (for example, to Cairo to the pyramids) at a price that is lower than the one you will be offered to pay if you buy at the hotel.

Regarding minibuses. Locals go there for 50 piastres, so do not give more than one Egyptian pound (Pound). And negotiate the price right away. For example
- One person one pound. good?
usually the starting price that the minibus driver will tell you after is 5 Pound. Don't let that bother you. Then it will be 3.2 and finally 1. Very rarely, but there are cases when the driver, having brought you to your destination, begins to say that he said he told you 5 pounds. Do not overpay for anything and immediately offer to go to the police and solve the problem. There is very strict about the niob @ tourists.

You can buy local fruits on Sakala street.
