The first daredevils on board...

We flew from Boryspil on February 26 - it was the first flight from Ukraine to Egypt, so there were plenty of reporters who strove to interview and take pictures of tourists with children. I think their slogan was: "The first suicide bombers go to Egypt. " Surprisingly, there were many people, so if there was excitement, it immediately disappeared: after all, the strength of the crowd is a great strength.

Where can I find free space? The apple has nowhere to fall...

Despite all the prejudices and reasoning, there were no empty seats on board. People with excellent moods took their places, fastened their belts and with complete calmness expected a soft landing in order to take sunbaths as soon as possible and breathe in a piece of the sea with full breasts.

Russians are not allowed...

There were quite a few Russians on board. Some even claimed that it was cheaper to fly through Ukraine.

Of course, there was a lot of indignation about the current situation in Russia, but nevertheless, everyone reconciled and found possible ways out.

Brought by the wind...

After landing, we were met by representatives of Pegasus and we went to the bus. It is not in vain that they say that tourists who have flown to Egypt should be blindfolded at the airport, and untie them only upon arrival at the hotel. The landscape is indescribable: dirt, landfills, flying garbage, construction sites ...In general, for the faint of heart, valerian is indispensable.

From dirt to Kings...

There was silence upon arrival at the hotel. There were only 5 of us daredevils from Ukraine in the hotel. All the rest are French, British, Italians, Germans, Dutch and other citizens of the Eurozone, which could not but rejoice. It was so nice to plunge into the society of "intelligentsia and aristocracy" for a week. I so wanted to take a break from the screams, squeals and inappropriate behavior of our fellow citizens.

First places...
As we were told, the hotel is designed for 600 rooms, and only 150 rooms were filled, which also could not but rejoice: the sunbeds are always free, there are enough towels for everyone, there is no queue for food, everyone knows each other. In general, the number of people correlated with the quality of a wonderful holiday.
The pool with a bar was heated, the rest were cool, but nevertheless, walruses swam there. The sea gave a warm welcome, the pontoon was 380 meters long. The only negative is that a red flag hung for a couple of days, it was forbidden to swim in the sea, we just went to the territory of another hotel, since they were all free. Food is plentiful, but food was said to be scarce as there are no tourists. We had enough of everything, especially since we were not going to eat, but to rest. Animation did their best, the hotel is great for families with children. There is a wonderful children's room, the animators are friendly with the children, everyone is satisfied. Housekeeping is top notch.
The room was cleaned every day. In general, everything was up to the mark.


A little about the bad, but not disturbing...

If we talk about the minuses, then they are as follows: a red flag hanging even in fine weather; an out-of-tune piano at the reception; outside the hotel they don’t let out, and there’s nothing to see there; the territory of the hotel is not ennobled with greenery; there were no people at the disco, it was empty all the time; a la carte restaurants were closed. But keep in mind, this is all because of the current situation in Egypt, and not because of poor service at the hotel.

Everyone is waiting for Russian tourists...Let's hope that soon everything will fall into place...

Personally, I have enough rest, despite the small obstacles, peeled ears and an eternal runny nose : )

I wish you a good holiday too!
