Наш отдых в Египте июль 2015 г. Our holiday in Egypt July 2015

The second time we rested at the Jaz Bluemarine Resort 5 * Hurghada, Egypt. We arrived at 1430 local time, the flight was 5 hours and 30 minutes, by Transaero. As usual at the airport, they offered to issue a visa without a queue, but not for 37 dollars, but for 40. We decided not to overpay, but to stand in line, which we did not regret - it took only 15 minutes. The Biblio Globus guides met us normally, the buses to the hotels were waiting in the parking lot - the delivery time was 20 minutes. There were no problems in the hotels either, they settled right away. We rested in the period from July 06 to July 20.2015, the temperature ranged from 39 to 43 degrees, but we didn’t feel much heat, because constant winds blow. The next day, the guide offered a number of excursions, including a hammam. It is better to go to the hammam in the hotel itself, because what is offered is not of the best quality, a trip to the city with a loss of 5 hours of time, and it turns out to be a little expensive. We took an excursion to the Nautilus, which we did not regret, a half-day excursion, everything was at the highest level, there were no complaints, a three-deck steamer, including a jacuzzi, a bar and a restaurant. At the bottom of the window for viewing reefs, then an hour of swimming in the sea with a mask and fins along the corals, and a very good buffet. The rest of the excursions are long - for the whole day and usually from 0500 to 2100. In the hotel itself, everything, as usual, the rooms are cleaned every day, tea, coffee, sugar, water are free, beach towels can be changed several times a day without problems. The food is at the highest level, there is almost everything you need, lovers of alcohol should not worry either - there is enough of everything, very tasty cocktails, especially on the beach and in the central lobby of the hotel. Bars open from 1000 and work until 0000. Three water parks, 10 swimming pools, 4 lobby bars, 4 snack bars. The first 10 days everything was just great, because the hotel was German and, accordingly, the Germans were 65 percent, 25% - Italians, French, Poles, Czechs, British, Slovaks, and 15% - our Russians! For the remaining 5 days, the percentage of vacationers has changed, there were already 50% of foreigners and 50% of our compatriots, and immediately it became somehow sad from how we behave unleashed, not respecting the rest of others and the laws of the host country, I don’t even want to write about it. Everything is expensive in the hotel shops, but outside the territory it’s literally a 5-minute walk, you can already bargain and buy good gifts, perfumes, etc. It gets dark early, already in 1830, there is no animation as such, there is live music, but not everyone day, many animations for children, but only in German. Foreigners mostly sunbathe by the pools, apparently they are used to it. We woke up early - at 0600, dawn was already at 0520, went to breakfast, then 0745-0800 went beyond the lagoons into the sea itself - where there are a lot of all kinds of fish, crabs, hedgehogs, etc. , you definitely need to take a mask and snorkel, goggles for swimming is not suitable, we swam in the open sea for 1-1.5 hours and went to the lagoon until 1100-1120, then a bar on the beach, again the lagoon and at 1320-1350 - lunch. Then 1-1.5 rest and then to the pools until 1700-1730. In the evening, of course, there is nothing special to do, and swimming in the sea after 1700 is prohibited - the nightlife of the local fauna begins, so after visiting bars and watching TV, they went to bed. Next year we will definitely go back to Hurghada, but already in Dana Beach Resort 5 * - we met Muscovites who had been vacationing in this hotel for two years - the reviews are enthusiastic, we also decided to try it, we hope everything will work out.
