хорошо отдохнули we had great rest

Hello Everyone! ! I am writing to you because I have just returned. . .
IMMEDIATELY INFORMATION FOR INFORMATION - WITH ALCOHOL IN EGYPT IS VERY PROBLEMATIC, IN ADDITION TO LOCAL ALCOHOL, WHICH YOU ARE SERVED AT THE HOTEL. IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE IMPORT EXOTICS, THEN PURCHASE IT IN DUTY FREE FROM YOUR A/P, OR IN DUTY FREE ON ARRIVAL IN EGYPT. IN ALL SHOPPING CENTERS YOU WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING BUT LOCAL BEER AND LOW ALCOHOL. ALSO THERE ARE 2 DUTY FREES IN HURGHADA WHERE YOU CAN BUY WITHIN 1 DAY AFTER ARRIVAL.
Traveled with TURTESS, everything is very organized and grasped. Meeting at the airport without problems, despite a bunch of distraught tourists. At every step, guides with company signs that indicate where to get to the bus and under what number, depending on the hotel. Everyone speaks excellent Russian. They settled immediately without any problems, they gave a room overlooking the pool. The sea is just a fairy tale compared to the rest of the adjacent beaches: clean with good circulation, and not at all good for buoys, you can swim with a mask - look at corals and fish (and the depth varies from "knee-deep" and up to 2-2.5 meters). We rested with friends (they settled in Makadi Club) - it killed the fact that we couldn’t sunbathe on each other’s beach - we constantly drove (although the beaches are in a straight line about 15 meters) !! ! Everything is explained by the fact that MAKADI MARINE b MAKADI SUN is one group and the rest of the hotels are another group. Take this into account if, for some reason, you stay with friends in different hotels. That is, tourists from Sanaa and Marin can sunbathe at each other's beaches, use bars and a beach tavern. Although it is not clear what groups we are talking about, if all the hotels are managed by one company - Travko !!!

The food is quite monotonous, I learned the assortment of food by heart in 11 days, though the food is delicious (+3 kg !!! ). Thursday is a fish day, the day on which crabs were served in shell at the entrance to the restaurant and grilled mackerel fish !! ! Everything is insanely delicious!!!
The animation is the coolest in this hotel (there was something to compare with) - the people in the amphitheater, where the performances of our animators were held, flocked from all the hotels (it was evident from the multi-colored bracelets))) The guys are smart and try very hard! We rested as newlyweds, for which they first brought us a cake and 2 glasses of champagne as a gift from the hotel, and then on the agreed day they brought 2 huge breakfast trays to the room !! ! We were on an excursion to Paradise Island - the excursion includes the delivery of people to the sea, the issuance of fins and masks with snorkels there, boarding boats, a stop in the open sea for diving (there are an unmeasurable number of fish and insanely beautiful corals) - a stop in the sea takes about 1 , 5 hours, and then all tourists are dropped off on the nearest island, called "PARADISE", where you are laid to wallow under umbrellas made of dry palm branches for an hour and a half, and then they are invited to a beach restaurant for lunch, and then they are taken back to the hotels. Very nice to spend half a day.
The guide's name was Mustafa Ibrahim. Constantly offered an excursion to Luxor, but we refused, because. on long-term excursions (for the whole day, with a very early departure) 50; % of the time is taken by driving tourists to souvenir shops, perfume shops, etc. Souvenirs are best bought at the HURGADA STARS store in Hurghada, opposite Ramstore and ROYAL PALACE, because to. prices for souvenirs in shops located in crowded places are in dollars (for example, they ask for $ 20 for a papyrus sheet), and in the specified store - 20 Egyptian pounds. Course: 1 USD = 5.5 pounds. So, in order to save money, take note. In a / p, everything is far from cheaper, so it’s better to tar here.
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN GOING OUTSIDE THE HOTEL. EVERYBODY WANTS TO FUCK YOU. . . A short note, if you still want to take a taxi: Makadi-Hurghada = 10 USD. USA (NO MORE), if the price breaks, catch another car and immediately stipulate (if more than 1 person is traveling) that you offer the indicated price for all people, and NOT FOR EVERYONE, so that there are no misunderstandings.

That seems to be all that I wanted to tell, if there are questions - I will answer.
