Never fly to Hurghada!!!

I agree completely with the previous review - very boring at the hotel and have been waiting for the return to Kyiv from the first day. We arrived today. Everything is in order. If you have already been to Egypt and rested in Sharm, then never fly to Hurghada. The city itself is completely reminiscent of scenes from the movie "Slumdog Millionaire". Dirt, stench, large and black cockroaches, vile "animals" are the local population. Children run through the streets and wash their hands in the mud in a prehistoric "column". There is no city center! In general, after arrival, we saw the desert and dilapidated houses. Landfills everywhere. We thought that this was the first impression, but on the third day we got out by taxi to the city and were very sorry. If you have a choice, then go to any hotel in Sharm!!
The hotel is still nothing. No one in the reviews wrote that ALL THE TIME THE STRONG WIND FROM THE SEA and WAVE, STORM. No one can swim with a snorkel and a mask, and there are no coral reefs at all in the hotel. Once we were specially on a sea excursion to a paradise island and reefs. I read 6 books in two weeks and after dinner I just had to go to my room to watch TV.
Everyone writes that it's wildly boring, it's true!

Tours are poorly organized and expensive.
The hotel itself has a main building and a bungalow. Bungalows are 2-storey cottages, but all overlook the road and buses drive past all night. Everyone is asked to settle in the main building. The restaurant is disgusting. You can only eat tomatoes and cucumbers, french fries and sweets. Queue for drinks. There are not enough tables. To the beach 15 minutes. In general, I have already been to Turkey twice, twice, and now three times in Egypt, vacationed in Croatia, Bulgaria, so I personally wish you not to spoil your vacation and choose some other resort !! !
