Enjoyed the stay at the hotel. Clean and fresh rooms after renovation. Except for the ants. Mosquitoes were not observed. Beautiful sea, clean beach.
The food is really All inclusive, but there is not enough Russian food: borscht, okroshka, mashed potatoes, natural juices... The peculiarity of the hotel is that on the day of departure at 12.00, the bracelet is removed from you and All inclusive ends. Therefore, it is a good idea to stock up on food and water for a while before departure. The Egyptians are friendly and responsive. Almost everyone understands the Russian language, but it's not bad to learn a couple of their words, they always rejoice in it like children: Marhaba - Hello, Thank you - Shukran, Inshaalla - God's will for everything. You can buy souvenirs at the hotel. There are no fixed prices, you have to bargain everywhere. Moreover, their price must be immediately divided in half, further from it and bargain. Be sure to agree on a price for a taxi or minibus before the trip, and pay only when you get out and preferably without change. Tourists are also welcome in the city, hashish is offered on every corner, and closer to midnight it becomes scary. The taxi driver who drove us back from the city was apparently stoned too, because he periodically turned off and had to wake him up. Traffic rules in Egypt are practically non-existent. There are no traffic lights, road signs, pedestrian crossings. Your guide from the first day will impose all sorts of excursions. We took an excursion right on the beach of the hotel to 4 islands for the whole day, it turned out to be much cheaper. Were satisfied, a lot of impressions. If you have never even swum, be sure to buy fins and a mask, it is not possible to drown in this sea, and you will get a lot of impressions from the underwater world. Egyptians are happy with dollars, euros, pounds, very rarely rubles. Time differs from Moscow by minus 2 hours.
You can immediately throw out a ticket for 1 trip to the Restaurant, because the food will be from the main restaurant, but without the possibility of choosing dishes and without alcohol. You will be offered a glass of water and alcohol for an additional fee. And most importantly, do not rush to take all the Egyptian sun on your body on the first day, it is very hot))
