So ended a pleasant and unforgettable holiday in Egypt. . . I will post my impressions here gradually, as you need to go through all the moments. You may not remember everything at once. Let's start in order. The tour to the hotel was bought in Turtesse. The entire holiday was held at a well-organized level, without flight delays, transfer problems, etc. We arrived at the airport, representatives of the tour operator met us, put everyone on buses, and so on. . . Vacation has begun!! ! Upon arrival at the hotel, it is located 10 minutes from the airport, they settled quickly, without any additional payments at the reception, they gave a decent room, with a balcony, with serviceable plumbing, furniture, and a refrigerator. The hotel staff is always polite and goes to meet every tourist. They speak a little Russian, and if you speak English at a household level, you will feel like a fish in water! The room was cleaned every day, linen every three days. We ate at the nearby El Samaka Beach Hotel. The choice of dishes is normal, but if you are used to going to restaurants, then you are not here. Omelet, pancakes, salads are regular for breakfast. Dinner - buffet, every day fruit. The beach is small, there are corals, fish. Who will take excursions - you can take local ones, cheaper, or you can go to the operator - but you will get the same thing. Excursions to Paradise Island and El Gouna with stops for snorkeling on coral reefs are an unforgettable experience. Be sure to go to Down Town for fruit and tea, coffee. . . Fruit is very cheap - for example, 1 kg of pomegranate costs 9 Egyptian pounds, you can bargain even cheaper, $ 1 = 5.7 pounds. Change money only at the bank, otherwise in a store or cafe you will be counted at the rate of 5.0. The pool at the hotel is very good, there are always few vacationers. Yes, I understand that there will be people who will look for negativity, but if you go with such an attitude, then it’s better to stay at home. The hotel belongs to the economy category, and this is the most important thing - after all, I don’t see the point in overpaying for 5 * and eating all day long, the Sindbad water park is very close, by taxi - 5 pounds, the tour costs $ 35, but the experience is unforgettable. To whom that will be interesting, therefore, to the hotel and the area, write to the blog, I will always answer with pleasure. . . Honestly, I left Egypt with tears, I could hardly restrain myself!
