Compatriots who rested in Hurghada, please help with advice !!!!
In early July, my husband and I are going to fly to Egypt. The main reason for choosing this particular country is the Red Sea with all the exoticism of its flora and fauna + historical monuments of ancient Egyptian culture (for me this is one of the main goals of the trip). We are not picky, the hotel does not have excessive requirements: the most exciting animation, clean and comfortable beach (at least on the 5th line :)), elementary well-groomed hotel, friendly staff. Food is not important - we are mostly herbivores))))) Please advise something in the category of 4 *, but budget!
Looking forward to informational help!
Sincerely, Your compatriot from the province *

I am not a compatriot, but still I want to draw your attention to the fact that July is not a suitable month for visiting historical places. Very, very hot. The daughter of a friend went on an excursion to Luxor in July. She said she left for a day.

I support Natasha. I was in Cairo in early September, then another test. And in July, I wouldn't risk it at all. To say it's hot is an understatement. The sun is VERY active, you yourself understand that this does not contribute to health, especially to the skin.
I advise you to choose a hotel with the following requirements: only a building, no bungalows, so that you can move from the room through the air-conditioned room with the restaurant. A small territory, so that you can walk less in the sun, and there are more pools and that there is water in the room, for free. Or at least coolers at the bar or on the beach to get some water. Naturally, no excursions, it's just suicide.

Yes .. and there are obvious problems with the flora in Egypt :-) Fauna .. yes, in the sea. But there is no flora. desert :-) Well, planted trees and shrubs in hotels, and watered forcibly, can hardly pass for flora :-)

Thanks for the info!
The heat in such a dry climate is not as terrifying as it is presented))))) The hot weather in Tashkent is familiar not by hearsay (+42 in the shade!)
But I would like specifics, which hotel would be recommended, maybe someone chose a hotel according to the same principles?

When I had a question about a limited amount, I simply asked the travel agency to choose hotels for me in this price category, and looked them up on the Internet (descriptions, reviews), and then chose the most suitable one. But this is necessary for the travel agent to be advanced, otherwise they usually offer 5-6 pieces in total.
There is another way - but this is for advanced "users" who have time - go to the operator's website, select all hotel offers, drop them into Excel and sort by price. And then according to the specified scheme. Thus, I learned that the same hotels can cost differently depending on the date and time of departure. :) So for me this is the best way, but it is not convenient for everyone.

We track hotels, read reviews, the head is already just spinning !!!!! So many conflicting opinions!
Here it is also important to correctly choose a tour operator - Tez inspires confidence, but you can simply ignore the two days of the tour, because. all departures in the afternoon.
About Pegasus reviews just tin! True, early departures

Look carefully with excursions. There are recommendations not to advance far from hotels.
If you are interested in the beautiful sea, then choose Sharm. In Hurghada, to see the living creatures in the sea, you need to take an excursion on a yacht, there are no beautiful reefs near the hotels. Have a positive holiday!

Look at the hotels of Makadi Bay - when I read the reviews, I wanted to go to everything at once and at the same time!)) And the prices are pleasing, lower than for Hurghada hotels of the same star rating. We chose Stella Garden 5 * - 48 thousand for 13 nights in the second half of July - cheaper only for nothing!)) The only negative of the hotel is a long pontoon, but judging by the reviews, it only annoys the first day (we'll go and find out).

If you want a lot of fish in the sea right next to your hotel beach, then choose Sharm, Makadi. The distance to the sights, the Pyramids, is the same.
Luxor from Hurghada.
Jerusalem, Israel, Mount Moses, Monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Moses - this is from Sharm.

Arabia is a good hotel! But it's far from budget. 50 thousand cannot be met unambiguously. And there is almost no animation! You can see Zahabia 3+, it is cheaper, but with a large territory, good food, the beach is both sandy and coral (only 250 m from the hotel)

PolikSVT, please tell me, what is the situation with animation in Zakhabia?

For those who love animation - it is, like everywhere else, people like it. Who does not need it - do not impose. Every day on the coral beach - gymnastics. After gymnastics on the playground next to the sandy beach - volleyball. I heard that belly dancing is held by the pool, but I have never seen it.
Before dinner in the dining room, the animator boy invited each guest to an evening entertainment program. Messages about upcoming shows were posted in advance on the hotel premises.
The show started at 21:00 at the Zakhabiya Tent across the road. We were able to go to it only three times: to the Nubian show - we really liked it, to the Egyptian dances (there was also a male dance with skirts) - we also liked it, to the comedy show - we giggled. At 22-00 the disco started, but we didn't go.

There are also competitions "Mr. Zakhabia", "Miss Zahabia", for children every day - mini-disco. In general, the holidaymakers of this hotel have no complaints about the animation!

I agree with PolikSVT, in July from Moscow Arabia 64 tons. You can also go to Zakhabia - the underwater world is excellent! When we rested there were many foreigners (Germans, Dutch, they were only engaged in the contemplation of fish and corals!

We had just returned from Sunny Days el Palasso, we were considering an alternative not to Arabia but to Bel Air (on the same territory as Arabia, but cheaper), but we didn’t fit into the budget and went back to Sunny. It is located next to the zahabia. The windows of the room overlooked the zahabiya beach - mostly locals (in clothes) rested there, the beach is very decent, but the windows of the rooms overlook the roadway. We specifically went to look at the hotels themselves, which are next to Sunny. On the territory of Arabia, already in May there was nowhere to spit, on Zahabiya it was almost empty, on the Sunny 50-60%. This year, half of the hotel has undergone restoration, although the furniture has remained the same, but the territory and buildings have been updated. With food this year there have been significant improvements in terms of variety of dishes and service. True, our tourists managed to create queues just to put everything that the chefs cooked right in front of them. The beach from the sea still has a lot of living creatures, especially where the cliff is deep. A ticket with a flight and collection for two for 12 days in May cost us 36,000 rubles (in Bel Air it was 40,000 rubles). There will be other questions, write in a personal.
