DIRT IS THE SHOWING CARD OF THE HOTEL.
When planning a trip here, I recommend taking with you a beach towel, bed linen, shampoo, toilet paper, a fumigator, biting fly cream and, of course, activated charcoal and antidiarrheal drugs.
Attention: At the Hurghada airport, representatives of the tour operator swindle Russian tourists for money and sell a visa for three dollars more. They brazenly lie that the bank at the airport does not work. In fact, airport services have specially located points for the sale of visas away from the flow of passengers. In addition, porters at the exit from the airport grab luggage, take it to the bus, and then extort money. Tales that the airport is full of lies. We are the only ones who waited for an hour for the baggage claim.

The hotel is 7 km away. However, we drove 1.5 hours. Coral Travel brought tourists to 8 hotels. When the bus stopped outside the Regina Hotel, we immediately felt sick. The signboard is covered in dirt, the same dust is all around in the hall. We arrived in a company of 4 people from Belgorod, paid for two standard rooms for 10 days at a cost of 30 thousand rubles. from a person. Russians are settled in bungalows and old buildings. Europeans - in the new building. We got a bungalow after cosmetic repairs No. 738. It immediately caught my eye that no one changed bed linen and towels, there was dust and dirt all around. I immediately returned to the reception and described the problem. On the offer to pay 20 c. u. answered with a refusal. Then the administrator offered to return to the room and wait for the cleaner. For your information: There is no Guestreleshen in this hotel. For all problems at the reception, where they will not even fix your problem. They will answer with an excuse, they say, we will decide soon, later.
As a result, the cleaner brought to replace dirty linen a similar set of linen and even worse than the previous one. The towels hadn't been washed either, and the bedspreads showed traces of wiping off a bare backside.
All bungalows in this hotel do not have windows. Instead, stained glass. Because of this, the rooms are very dark and damp. Plumbing is old, the shower is small, liquid soap and toilet paper are not added. Writing notes to the janitor in English is useless. And I don't speak Arabic. The cleaner only comes to make the bed and that's it.
As a result, on the first day we went to the city, bought toilet paper, four sets of bed linen and a towel, shampoo, soap, fumigators. Stayed within 150 USD
There is no paid or free internet in the hotel. You can buy a SIM card when leaving the hotel. Turn left at the exit and on both sides of the street. Sheraton will see a lot of providers, including Ukrainian mobile systems.
The food is surprisingly good for a four star. Although, these stars do not appear anywhere. The hotel positions itself as "Hospitaly", i. e. pension. Meat dishes are always available. Grilled meat for lunch and dinner. Three side dishes. Fish stew without bones every day. Not a bad bakery. Lots of buns. Always two kinds of soup and very tasty. From fruits melon, oranges, tangerines, guava (not tasty), dates (not ripe). No apples, no pears, no watermelon, no mango has never been. There is always a huge queue for drinks, as well as for salads. Cucumbers and tomatoes are disgusting. Cooks in dirty clothes as well as waiters. On the third day of your stay in Egypt, you get used to pitch mud. This is their way of life. The main thing is not to see the cooking process.

The beach is a dirty puddle, in which boats are located in the parking lot and drain waste directly under the noses of vacationers. For a normal, full-fledged bathing, coral slippers are needed. Then, you can crawl through a hole in the fence and swim on the beach of a nearby, unfinished hotel. However, even there the purity of water is relative, because. 300 meters from the hotel is the main port-parking of passenger ships of Hurghada. And do not expect that the owners of these ships use dry closets.
To snorkel and watch the fish on the coral reef, you need to go along the parking of boats, to the end of the beach bay and sail 50 meters from the shore. There will be a living coral reef. Fins and a mask are required.
Ahmed and another swindler walk along the beach, who offer excursions from the hotel diving club. To Paradise Island - 25 USD, diving with two dives - 35 USD. Don't see me, kidalovo. In addition, they will feed you late, after which you will use up a year's supply of activated charcoal and antidiarrheal drugs.
Anamation in the boarding house is absolutely not interesting. The team has a Russian girl who speaks tolerably English and helps Russian tourists solve problems with the natives. In fact, it partially performs the functions of gestreleshen. This is the only positive person in this kingdom of darkness and dust. Once a week amateur artists come.
There are three bars in the hotel. The most dumb - near the pool. Everything in it ends an hour after opening. The beach bar runs out of beer by noon. In the lobby - bar, the beer ends immediately after the end of dinner, i. e. at 21.00. However, there are plenty of cheap drinks for drunks such as whiskey, vodka, ram, gin and even tequila until the bar closes; 24.00h It is impossible to drink this abomination. But nevertheless, drunks are delighted.
By the way, among the vacationers there are many ladies with low social responsibility and far from presentable appearance. The Arabs are delighted with them. In line at the bar, 90% of women. Moreover, in such a state that they are not able to tell the bartender the recipe for the desired cocktail. So they write rave reviews about this hole.
The territory of the boarding house is not small, beautiful, the gardeners are trying. One gets the impression that gardeners are the only workers who conscientiously fulfill their duties.
The contingent of tourists: 5% very poor Europeans, 5% Arabs, 20% Ukrainians/Belarusians, the rest Russians.

And now about Hurghada itself. The city looks like after a nuclear strike: devastation all around, a lot of beggars, dirt, stink and a lot of abandoned hotels and construction sites. Public transport is not suitable for transporting Europeans. Taking a taxi is not safe. The Arabs became unrestrained and very, very aggressive. You can feel relatively safe only on the territory of the hotel.
Before leaving, we ordered lunch boxes at the reception. We arrived at 5.00 in the morning, the administrator answered awake that there were no lunch packages for your company, because. you didn't order them. Then he came up to us and gave us 0.5 liters. four bottles of water, which, by the way, were taken from us at the airport.
The service at the airport is also terrible. The airport is divided into two zones: for Russians and others. The security service of the airport during the inspection behaves simply like bestiality. They can hit the leg, push, yell at a woman, a child. In Duty Free stores, prices are exorbitant. Toilets are dirty.
I summarize: since 1997 we have been resting twice a year in Turkey and probably we should not change traditions.
