They say that they are greeted by clothes. So, we were in Egypt for the first time...
Immediately upon arrival at Hurghada airport, the Arabic service is shocking. It is absolutely not clear where to run for a stamp in the passport, for a visa. Arabs speak Russian through their ass. The TezTour service is also shocking. . .
However, in front of the free toilet at the airport, there are sly-assed chumps and demand $1 for entry. Send them loud and clear in Russian and don't give any money! Toilet at the airport is free!
We got on the TezTour bus and started loading things into the luggage compartment... Then one of the chocks took my suitcase from me and put it in the luggage compartment of the bus and right there !! ! asked for a tip. . .
The guides are also almost all Arabs, but they speak Russian more tolerably...
Everything! 15 minutes later we were at the Golden 5 Club. 10 minutes and we were given a room for three. No surcharges. The view from the room is not the best and not the worst, especially since the room is needed only for sleeping. The porter helped carry things and showed everything in the room... earned $ 1. The room was quiet at night. The air conditioning was working and the buses driving into the hotel were a little noisy.
In the room: 2 single beds and one extra free of charge (also not small). Air conditioning... and you can set 16 degrees. Small refrigerator. Safe. TV set. There are 2 Russian channels, but one of them is barely visible, although Golden 5 is excellent in other hotels. There is also a large balcony (on the second floor) on the first terrace (it's like nothing). The bathroom is spacious too. . . it has an acrylic bathtub. The furniture is of course old and falling apart. . . they say because of the Russian and Ukrainian tourists, who are 90% here. They clean the rooms regularly, even when they don’t need to ask permission to clean) Yes, when we first moved in, we were presented with 6 liter bottles of cola and 2.0. 5 liter bottles of plain water (it was very helpful).
Food. The food here is just great. There are many restaurants, you can eat anywhere. Meat, vegetables, fruits, cakes, drinks, etc. We didn’t have a queue for breakfast and lunch, but for dinner people were pulling up and there weren’t enough places in the restaurant... there was a queue.
Territory. The territory is huge. There are places to take pictures. There is a "water park" - a swimming pool with large slides (free of charge). Each of the five obels on the territory of Golden 5 has its own swimming pool. To the sea from the Club to go 10-15 minutes. Every 45 min. a bus travels across the territory from the Club to the sea (for some reason they call it the Taf Taf train). There are not enough sunbeds near the shore, but they are a little further from the shore. Towels are given out on cards (for loss, a fine). The main thing is that the beach is open from 8.00 until sunset, and they have a sunset in August at 17 - 18 hours! At 18, an Arab runs around with a whistle and kicks everyone out of the water (in the pools too). At 19.30 it is already dark. The shore at the entrance to the sea is sandy with a small amount of pebbles, and then only sand. There are reefs (not coral) to the right and left. But there are a lot of fish there. Take bread with you and you can feed them 2-3 meters from the shore! Imagine you are standing in an aquarium and feeding the fish. Be sure to bring your mask! You can see them better underwater. And immediately buy safety shoes for the sea there. Our "slaps" do not roll!
The hotel has shops. Until you sunbathe, the merchants will get you. There are fixed price shops about 20 minutes walk towards Hurghada. There you can find the lower price limit for goods. Then you can try to breed traders, taking into account the knowledge of these prices, even below them! At fixed prices, no one bothers you. But in ordinary shops, yes! These smart-ass chocks got it! They remember you by sight. Therefore, do not visit them more than once. They returned - it means there is interest. So you won't be discounted. Once you come in and you like something, bargain immediately with the knowledge of fixed prices!
Next to Golden 5 (as you exit - to the left) there is a fixed price store - there it is twice as expensive!
And yet, when you book plane tickets at a travel agency, choose a flight so that you arrive at the hotel after 14.00 and depart at 14.00 too, because You will be picked up from your hotel two hours before departure. After all, the room must be released at 12.00.
