2 days ago my husband and I returned from Egypt. We rested in Hurghada, at the Albatros Jungle Aqua Park hotel. We chose this hotel based on reviews and were not disappointed. We bought a ticket in Yarobltour, a very nice girl explained everything to us and warned that the airline had the right to postpone the departure time. And so it happened. The departure time was shifted by 13 hours instead of 8 am, so the entire daylight hours were lost. Vnukovo Airport was replaced by Domodedovo (The next day, they learned from the news about the explosion at Domodedovo).
We flew on a big Boeing 747 with Transaero. Everything is great! On the flight to Egypt, the Arabs explained in broken Russian how to go through customs control, what to fill out and where to put 15 dollars. Leaving the airport, we followed with the help of representatives of the teztour, who greeted us every 10 meters and indicated the direction to the bus. The guys from Tez Tour are just great! Special thanks to them for such an organization of recreation (I watched other tourists get lost). On a comfortable yellow bus we were taken to the hotels of the Albatros chain.
At the reception, we were immediately put on light green bracelets. The $15 invested in my passport satisfied my desire for a room with a balcony overlooking the pool. Modern furniture with a huge double bed, a plasma TV with 4 channels in Russian, impeccable plumbing, a refrigerator with water always present in it, a free safe. From the hotel I was just crazy! Huge area, impeccably clean, beautiful, many pools, but swam in only one - heated. The water park with a lot of slides for children and adults is just a paradise! Meals on the "5"! Huge selection of food in 6 restaurants. Taking 1 capsule of Bifiform every day allowed me to eat whatever I wanted. My husband really liked spicy food, especially meat. I indulged myself with an abundance of fruits, cakes, pastries and smoothies. For 7 days of rest we managed to get around 8 bars. We especially enjoyed spending time at the Banana Bar.

The hotel is located on the second line from the sea, but the distance did not bother. We always walked. For the lazy, there is free transport, which will take you to the beach in 3-5 minutes. In January it is cool to enter the sea, but then nothing - you get used to it.
I advise you to buy souvenirs in the Cleopatra fixed price store, as local sellers in the market are terribly sticky, but if you want to bargain, go ahead!
Relatives and acquaintances, listening to the news about the unrest in Egypt, worried about us all our vacation. But we even managed to go on an excursion to Cairo on January 27 (the pyramids of Cheops, the Sphinx, the National Museum, an oil factory).
