Моя первая поездка в Египет My first trip to Egypt

This is my first trip to Egypt, in general, very successful. Went from Anex. Having read horrors about Egypt, I tuned in for the worst, but everything went well, there were no serious problems: nothing was stolen from us, we did not meet sharks, the tour bus took us to Luxor and Cairo without incident, there were no problems with digestion.
I really liked the hotel: well-groomed green area, many flowers, a good heated pool, the food was quite normal, the sea is excellent.
The only thing - there was a hitch with the number, we bought the standard, but settled us in the superior temporarily, they said to come the next day at 12 at the reception to change the number. that there is only an unfortunate room with a view of the construction site, if we want a view of the sea, then we need to come tomorrow, but at any time convenient for us, put the bags with things in the room in a conspicuous place, they will be transferred to a new room without us so as not to distract us from our rest. We did just that, came the next evening to the reception, took the key to the new room. The room turned out to be good, the view, as promised, of the sea, the pool and the hotel park, the bags were moved, everything was safe and sound. The only thing that strained in this whole situation with the numbers was that for two days we could not sort out our things and "sat on our bags". The hotel was full, so we were far from the only ones given temporary rooms. There was also a situation when flights to Moscow were canceled due to bad weather and we saw people at the reception cursing, who had their flight delayed for almost a day, but they were not given a room, referring to the fact that the hotel was full and there were no available rooms, people were forced to wander around the territory all day and then sit at the reception until 4 in the morning, waiting for a transfer to the airport. Thank God we did not encounter this, as we flew to Kyiv and our flights were on schedule.

Now more about the hotel itself:
The territory is very beautiful, blooming + the opportunity to walk around the territory of the five.
The sea is clean, warm, there are corals and fish (clown fish, butterfly fish, rhinoceros fish, squid, two stingrays live near the pier, lionfish, moray eels and hedgehogs and a bunch of other fish whose names I don’t know). If you come to the beach late (11-12 o'clock), then it will be a problem to find a sunbed, but at about one o'clock in the afternoon people leave for lunch and you can borrow it. Many write that the sea is shallow, well, I would not say so, there are shallow places, but there are also places where it is almost immediately deep enough.
Food: there was always deliciously cooked fish, chicken and meat. Of the side dishes, I liked rice, stewed potatoes with vegetables, french fries, quite normal pasta that can be ordered with various additives and gravies, i. e. make a paste. There were mashed soups, but I didn’t try them, although people took them. In the morning, they made omelettes with fillings, scrambled eggs, pancakes with liquid chocolate / jam / honey, breakfast cereals with milk, toast, sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ cheese and several types of sausages, by the way, quite tasty. There was always a bunch of desserts, cakes, all sorts of pastries, you can’t try everything, quite decent tea of ​ ​ several types in bags. Of the fruits were melon, pomegranate, bananas, guava, oranges, dates. On the beach they gave ice cream of 8 different colors. In general, my husband and I always found something tasty for ourselves, we were never hungry and never got sick of anything.
Every evening there was a disco, the music was quite normal for me, there was a live sound a couple of times, namely, two Arab boys sang, they sang world hits in English, by the way they sang very well, the people were delighted, everyone danced.

We went on two excursions to Luxor and Cairo. We took excursions from our guide. We went well, the bus was good, with air conditioning, a toilet, soft seats and seat belts, there were two drivers, both drove carefully, they didn’t drive. The only thing I didn’t like was that during lunch, which was included in the price of the tour, drinks were not included and we were offered tea and coffee for $ 3 per cup, it was just kind of ripped off, while you can’t bring your own drinks for lunch it was categorical, the guide said drink your water on the bus - it's just outrageous, really it was impossible to include tea in lunch for such a price. Excursions cost Luxor - $ 80, Cairo - $ 90 per person. In addition, we did not have time to return for dinner and all that was offered to us was a bun with cheese. The dry ration was also useless: again, a bun with cheese, a guava, one boiled egg and a piece of cake, and a bottle of water. It's a shame, because for this day it was paid for all inclusive, but as I understand it, this is the case in all hotels.
As for using the five, I can say that it only consists in the opportunity to walk around the territory and that's it, the beach is divided into two parts: the five and ours, when there were no free sunbeds left on our piece of the beach, we tried to take a sunbed on the territory of the five, but were very quickly expelled from there by the beachboy. You won’t be able to swim in the five-star pools either, and you can’t go to their restaurants.
Well, in general, given that the hotel is not expensive, we rested for the money that we paid very well.
