Karim! Natural disaster or can be ignored?
Reading the reviews, I realized that this is the main disadvantage of the hotel! :) How serious is this? Can this person, in the conditions of instability in Egi, do real nasty things?

I don't think he can really do anything. not to do it, yes (for example, not to order breakfast for those who leave the hotel early), but to do something nasty is unlikely. in the end, everyone, even the most notorious boors in Egypt, value their work very much. The easiest way is not to pay attention to Karim and not spoil your mood (you will not pay attention to a mentally ill passer-by in Russia). if you have any questions, it’s better to ask tourists, vacationers there, they will be more useful

You know, by and large, what difference does it make what kind of guide there is. To be honest, I don’t understand such a hype around Karim. Yes, we ordered excursions from him, because there is nowhere else. The hotel is quite isolated. And the prices there are different, not like in Sharm, for example. We also left very early, we ordered breakfast ourselves the day before at the reception. What's the problem? The hotel administration successfully resolves all issues. And even our not very good English - everyone understood.

Thanks to all! Since we do not plan excursions for the most part (and already several trips, since we have completed everything that interested us), I think it is not necessary to go to a meeting. He's late anyway, and we don't have much time to rest. The main thing we are afraid of is that he does not forget us and we come back! :)

We did not get to the meeting and left without problems (a letter from Pegasus was delivered to the room). Do not worry about trifles - everything will be OK! I wish you a good rest! Have you already decided on a hotel?

We are also considering options - to go where we have already been or to sacrifice time for a trip to Marsa Alam. 4 hours is serious. + spending another 2 hours on a idiot guide is already a problem. We do not have a month to rest, and we must have time to swim with the fish! Time is money!

No need to waste your time - no one is forcing you! Where is the guarantee that in another place there will not be the same idiot. Of course, the right to choose is your business, but the hotel is really worthy. And the bay is beyond praise. We swam - we know! ;)

People are going to rest (!) in a state that has not existed for several months, where there is no government, and no one guarantees their health in principle.
There now everyone will do what he thinks. Read.
No matter how you don’t have your head torn off for the Israeli stamps in your passport.

Going to Egypt now is like going to Russia for a vacation in 1917.

Karim is not serious, it's comical. The guide is nobody. Therefore, you can safely score on him. It is better to buy sea excursions in dive centers (there are both Hilton directly in the hotel, and quite serious German 5 * dive centers in the vicinity). And other excursions now in Egypt are simply dangerous.
The only thing he can really do is "forget" to report the departure time. But the hotel has Internet, you can always check in a day if the charter has been postponed. There is even a laptop (free of charge) at the bar counter near the reception, I say this in case you go without equipment.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry recommends refraining from visiting the southern part of the country, for example, Aswan.
If there were an official ban on the purchase of excursions not from TO, or a government decree on such a ban, do not hesitate - you would be given directly from the tour operator in the city where you bought the ticket. And so, from our conversation with Karim, we found out that the "law" is "only in the head" of Karim, and does not exist in printed form.
I admit that such audacity and arrogance of the guides, and the host as a whole, is connected with the fact (in addition to the greed) that the host is afraid for tourists (or rather, for their business, which is already dying). It is very restless in Egypt, but, of course, it is impossible to talk about this directly to tourists. At the same time, a tourist should not be allowed to get into a mess on religious grounds, which take place in Yegi. So they have to play like an orchestra on the Titanic.

For those who didn't read my link (see above) I inform you that Karim is no more after my official complaint to Pegasus.

This was voiced by vacationers, because to say that "it was removed as a result of an inspection in response to numerous complaints" means to cast a shadow on the operator, it is more profitable to say about an accident that actually did not happen.
I received an official response from Pegasus that action had been taken. Karim is no longer there.

/////"forget" to report the departure time. But the hotel has Internet, you can always find out in a day if the charter has been postponed./////
according to the Russian Rules of Transportation, a charter is no different from a regular flight, except for the temporary schedule, but although it is temporary, it is quite specific and the air carrier does not have the right to simply postpone the flight, which is what "pigaz" is famous for.
it is indicated that the passenger must arrive at the airport at least 3 hours in advance - this is the time at which you can "move" the flight. Remember this and do not chew "Pigaz" noodles.

It is, maybe yes ... But I'd rather spend the extra half a day in a hotel than at the airport :)

hmmm. last year, this ...... "operator" moved the flight from 18-00 to 10-00 on the same day. As a result, the rest day was simply stolen.
And the most interesting thing is that they put us all (300 people from several hotels) instead of the Nordvind (read Pigazovsky) flight in the Aeroflot IL-96, for which there were simply no tickets at the time of buying tickets and booking tickets.

So you this... Make up your mind. May or may not. And then advise people. They may be 100 times right, but they will fly back for their own :)

In general, it is very similar to the fact that flights are selected in such a way as to steal from the vacation to the maximum. How many times did I fly (not only with Pegasus), how many times did I lose paid hours at the hotel.

I decided a long time ago - I don’t rest as a pigaz.
what "may or may not"? more specifically please.
I do not advise, but I am talking about the points of the law of the Russian Federation,
which are constantly violated under general silence.
they will fly for their own uniquely, then they will have to go to court and have both material and moral compensation. + fuck not honest MOT.

"May or may not" reschedule the flight. I understand your position - I myself often do this. But for the majority it is unacceptable. Egypt and Turkey are economy destinations. Many do not even take money for a return ticket on a regular flight (and it costs at least 450 dollars, and even from Cairo you have to fly). If we are going to sue, then why not fly away by charter (without costs, which is not a fact that someone will reimburse)? And to sue on the fact of the transfer.
