1. Settlement. At the reception they asked for a nice room and tipped 10 euros. The employee probably did not see, because when they gave the money, asked for the keys back and changed the room. Giving 1 building, 3rd floor, overlooking the pools. This is the most distant view of the sea hull, but no discomfort was felt. Therefore, the conclusion - it does not matter in which case! Money at the reception should be paid for the landscape. No tip ground floor and views of the road or a nearby hotel. For the money - on top of a higher view of the pools and partly at sea. New towels and blankets were cleaned in the room every day.

2. Dining room. The food is fantastic, just enough, the choice is good, for each day of the week special food (fish day, international, etc. ). You can eat around the clock. Once at the end of the race they gave a voucher to the club restaurant - all the same, only the tables were served not only with a fork and knife but also with a bunch of extra forks, spoons and more.

The bars make delicious alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails for free.

3. The sea. "I did not bathe in the swamp. " At sea, if you want to see fantastic underwater landscapes with fish, be sure to buy a mask ($ 10) and a choice of sneakers ($ 5) or flippers ($ 10). There are several reefs near the shore, the fish are very nice, especially if you take a little rice in the dining room for feeding. It's better to just swim in the pool - I liked the Olympics.

4. Entertainment. Every night the animation arranges some concerts. Fakir show is fantastic, dance day is fantastic. The rest is primitive amateur art. We thought of going to a disco (every day from 00 to 3:00) - it's awful, in a room with the lights on, a few people are just dancing - a parody and not a disco. Tennis court is free, but not very high quality, rackets for rent like 20 pounds per hour. No football field. Table tennis is one table, but rarely anyone played there. Internet $ 7 an hour.

5. Water park.
On the second day of the opening of the water park, the boy was carried away in blood. There were no queues for 15 minutes. The next day I saw him in normal humor only with a bandage on his forehead. I don't think anything serious. The slides themselves are good, working 2 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. In one day you are completely satiated and then it becomes uninteresting to swim in them again.

6. Shopping. Exit the hotel, turn right and walk 300 meters. There will be a shop with the inscription - fixed prices. All the souvenirs there are the cheapest! Bargained to the last in the shops opposite the hotel - still more expensive. There is a shop on the territory - not expensive, but not the cheapest. It is even cheaper to buy souvenirs in the supermarket within 20 minutes walk from the hotel (a MALL). If you do not see the supermarket when you go on safari, you can find the McDonald's. Also in the supermarket everything you need at regular prices, not tourist.

Arafatki bought in front of the hotel for $ 2 apiece (cotton and not synthetics, because synthetics for $ 1). Perfumes were bought in Cairo - for 100.4 bottles of 60 ml. They advertise perfumes very much, as you add 1 part of the essence to 10 spirits and get Armani, kenzo, dolce gabana and all other perfumes, but at a much lower price, because all the cool essences and oils are only Egyptian.

7. Excursions. We went to Cairo, Luxor and Badavia. It is better to choose one thing from Cairo and Luxor. And probably better than Cairo, although it is difficult to drive a full 7 hours. Cairo - pyramids and museum, Luxor - monumental temples and columns. Badvaya - 30 minutes of riding ATVs, in a column one after another. + 30 minutes of riding on some homemade cars for 4 people, 15 minutes each behind the wheel. + horseback riding, will drive 10 meters leading on a leash. + a trip to the mountains to the Bedouins - specially made for tourists like a village, ride a camel 50 meters, show how to weave a carpet and bake bread.
+ return to the ATV base and there is dinner, a concert (noteworthy is the dance of a guy who is constantly spinning in a skirt), + telescope for the stars, but I was not surprised because there was a long queue and it's too late when you want to go home soon. Around ignore the help and kindness of the Arabs on excursions - to fix arafatka, take pictures and so on - will be expensive later. : ) We were almost forcibly photographed in Cairo against the background of a camel and demanded $ 40 for it, only for 10 euros they returned the camera back.

Rested for 12 days. On the 9th I already started to get bored. The contingent of people - mostly Russians, many Ukrainians. There are very few young people, many family children and retirees.
