The safe at the reception is free, I don't remember in the room. Nothing to see in Hurghada. I recommend a trip to Luxor (who loves history) and a boat trip to El Gouna (a small aquarium, swimming in the open sea with dolphins, etc.) I think 500 US dollars are enough for these excursions for two.
аватар Valeri_
thank. To Luxor and Alexandria - we definitely plan! It is somewhat embarrassing that Cairo is also being offered Alexandria .. I see that the reviews about Cairo are not very good. Did you buy excursions at the hotel?
аватар galiya1962
We always buy only at the hotel. If you want Cairo, take it separately from Alexandria and without a tour of the Nile (thrown away money). We were in Cairo from Sharm, the road seemed a little tedious, 6 hours long, and even closer from Hurghada! Although if you kill two birds with one stone (Cairo and Alexandria), then of course it’s better to take a two-day trip (but it’s a pity to break away from the Red Sea for two days)

In Hurghada, the guide will offer a survey for $ 10, really nothing special. Himself in Hurghada is worth a trip to the old city for fruits - mango, guava, figs, fresh dates, etc.
What to take with you to EGYPT?
Small dollars (1 per tip, 15 visa)
Dollars for excursions (from 30 to 300)
First aid kit: - Nifuroxazide or Enterofuril - for diarrhea, these are NOT antibiotics, they kill E. coli while not damaging the beneficial intestinal flora,
Other medicines that you use at home are Pancreatin, for fever, pain, bandage, brilliant green ....
Cream for safe tanning with a protection factor of 25-30
Headdress! Glasses! Swimsuit ;) - better a couple.
You can take shampoo if you have a certain type of hair (they dry your hair, dandruff appears)
Soap (small, uncomfortable pieces in hotels)
Bathing shoes - (coral)
Rope or braid - 5 meters (after the airport, everything happens ... for example, a bag without handles and wheels) a couple of clothespins.
Pen for filling out an emigration card.
A camera, chargers, a mobile phone with a large amount ... or buy simfortour at home, sim-travel - entry.0, out.0.55$

For a present - vodka with pepper Nemirov, Khortitsa, Alyonka chocolate, seeds, cigarettes.
Shopping - hookah, hibiscus tea, papyrus, terry towels, perfume oils (for inhalation)

There are no sightseeing in Hurghada for a long time (in any case, from Teztur, it is unprofitable) Eksk. for long distances it is better to take from the guides. From the hotel at 4-45 in the morning, back around 23. We, tourists, get tired, and they ... on the same bus, with the same driver !!!, there is at least insurance. On a yacht, safari, and much more, everything is cheaper from a local company (exit the main restaurant and to the right) on the beach, the yacht is even cheaper, the services are the same. Special shoes are not needed for the beach (although they write about this in the hotel description), there are no corals, sand, and for a walk on a yacht (El Gouna or Utopia) you will already need fins and other equipment (it is on the yacht). The budget is who has enough imagination for what, again, souvenirs. I, for example, am now suffering with papyrus.
I bought a non-standard size (96x43 cm) In the framing workshop they asked for 3.5 thousand rubles, and the picture itself cost me 400 rubles (they also take our money), so if you don’t know how to make a frame yourself, either don’t buy papyrus at all, or ask what sizes do we sell ready-made. There is no safe in the room, reception is free. There is a Cleopatra Bazaar not far from the hotel, there are fixed prices, from the hotel it’s about 20 minutes on foot to the right, or a taxi $ 1, or a minibus 2-3 pounds, just agree in advance
аватар Tati1144
Taxi to Hurghada - also as agreed, I went for 40 pounds, even if you don't know the language, the old city - they understand. There is an exchanger at the reception, it is better to pay for goods in pounds (excursion, of course, in dollars), figure it out for yourself along the way. In general, the hotel is very good, you will like it. Good luck

The beach itself is sandy, but on the right side of the pier, walk further along the dead corals and there are some living ones. You need shoes there, and there are fish there.
If you buy juices, then delicious only from Mango and Guava

Sorry taxi to Hurghada is 20 pounds less than 4$

Thank you all very much for your participation! I was especially pleased that there are no negative reviews about the hotel as a whole. So let's go positive!
Specify about SIM cards, pliz, buy in Moscow? what operator (so as not to look for a long time) We are from Khabarovsk. We plan to communicate via Skype, but mob. still needed! And roaming is still expensive :-(, even when the service is connected.
Swim slippers, they probably sell there ?!
About baguettes. Something expensive for you. I make embroidery (my friend gives it from time to time)... More expensive, of course, than ready-made ones, but more acceptable than yours :-)
Probably, it is worth taking a cream with a higher protection!

http://www.sim-travel.ru/
This is a site for a sim card where to buy and all that ..
Bathing slippers in Egypt cost from $ 5, all kinds of colors.
Cream with protection 50, there will be no tan at all.
Not bad 30, but the first two days of adaptation, so to speak, do not overdo it with the sun ...
Have a good rest!!!
Do not forget to smile, the Arabs love it, and discounts are guaranteed...:))))

be sure to take a tour of Luxor
It's unforgettable)))

Papyrus looks better when it is framed in a passe-partout, and this is even 2.5-3 cm on each side, i.e. 102x49 cm is the back wall (hardboard) + passe-partout + slats + glass + work. I chose slats 3 cm wide, they told me that the picture is large, it will turn out heavy and it will fall apart, that I need to choose wider slats, which means more expensive. They do not "bring", this is really such a price (but, in Moscow, in general, prices are frostbitten). I saw ready-made frames 50X70 for 450-700 rubles. already after arrival, it was necessary to ask before what how much and buy a picture for a frame, they sell different sizes, and there are also standard ones. Cream - I usually take 25-30, but in the first days, anyway, I lie under an umbrella until 12-00 and after 3

Resort gem - Hurghada Marina Boulevard
Next to Sheraton Road, the main street of the Sakkala area, there is a new exciting HURGHADA MARINA BOULEVARD. Over 100 establishments ranging from chic cafes, delightful restaurants, beautiful bars, excellent shops. A beautiful picture on the Red Sea coast over 120.000m2 - admission is completely free. Thousands of tourists visit Marina Boulevard every year in search of entertainment, live music, delicious food, drinks and shopping, escaping the hustle and bustle of Hurghada.
Paradise place for walking! This is a wide embankment along the sea, where all the berths are occupied by the most beautiful yachts and sightseeing boats. An amazing place for leisurely walks with amazing restaurants, cafes and all kinds of shops.
Bars that are especially worth a visit are NICE bar, PAPAS bar and the trendy disco on the seashore HED KANDI. For children, there are fun rides on the waterfront.
Next to the "NICE bar", a little in the depths, we found oriental shops (SOUK Area). It was here that we especially liked the store "MOROCCO".
A charming place with a truly oriental charm, fixed prices, and quite moderate (which is also very nice for

Continuation of Hurghada Marina Boulevard. Next to the "NICE bar", a little in the depths, we found oriental shops (SOUK Area). It was here that we especially liked the store "MOROCCO".
A charming place with a true oriental charm, fixed prices, and quite moderate (which is also very nice for tourists who are sick of the endless bargaining). We have become regulars of this store, having bought charming souvenirs for friends, scarves and pareos for ourselves and various pleasant oriental trifles that you will not find in other stores in Hurghada.
We also bought there at very affordable prices mixed oils from Morocco for face and décolleté skin care for my mother, who is a real fan of natural oils. There is a large selection of all kinds of natural cosmetics and you can find all the care lines with endless options for adding pure essential oils from Morocco.
So we will definitely visit this shop when we come to Hurghada again.
In general, Hurghada Marina brightened up our leisure time very much and we were there every evening, either walking, sitting in a bar and listening to live music, or looking at the bellydanc dancers.
After that, especially, you ask yourself the question, well, why

Continuation of Hurghada Marina Boulevard. After that, especially, you ask yourself the question, why don’t the organizers of City tours show this “pearl” of Hurghada on city tours? And, in fact, they don't even mention it?
We did not find answers to this question. And it's a pity, because a huge number of Russian tourists are not even aware of the presence of a charming and romantic place in a European way for walking, nightlife and decent shopping?
аватар Valeri_
Thank you all very much! We will definitely find Marina Boulevard! Indeed, no one has mentioned this place before! Necessarily - Luxor, Alexandria. We fly out on Sunday. I'll be sure to report back when I get back! :-)
аватар Valeri_
Oh, yes, I forgot, also El Gouna and ... Bedouins ?!
We are determined to have a good rest and not let anyone spoil our holiday! (not so often we allow ourselves to do it! :-)
