Tour innovations
Yesterday our friend came to Marsa Alam to the hotel where we are going on Tuesday. Today, at a meeting with a guide (Pegasus), they were forced to sign a paper stating that they are familiar with the innovations (since June) in Egypt about excursions. Namely: you have the right to buy excursions (bus or on a yacht) only from the TO that brought you to Egypt. If you are caught on an excursion purchased from any other person, you will be stamped in your passport, which prohibits entry into the country for 10 years. To be honest, I'm in shock, volkis even more so (I just spoke to him on the phone). Does anyone know or have heard of this? Maybe it's only in Marsa Alam? Maybe this is another trick of Pegasus?

This is good.
You can not buy exes from the side.
For this they give a "black mark"

About how many wonderful discoveries Pegasus is preparing for us and will cook more ..., jabetta, do you believe in this? I think not, and you are right, tell a friend to send him to the mosque .... for bananas ...
''Today, at a meeting with a guide (Pegasus), they were forced to sign a paper stating that they are familiar with the innovations (since June) in Egypt about excursions.''- Pegasus' nonsense. I always think when I hear different stories of Pegasus horror stories from tourists and think who teaches them all these horror stories? Or whoever thinks of what he himself fences, you need to open the topic and list horror stories, then Zhvanetsky will rest :)
''If you are caught on an excursion bought from any other person, you will be stamped in your passport, which prohibits entry into the country for 10 years. ''- Hmm .., there are no words, only drooling remained ... and laughter ...
And about signing papers, this is a gesture .., why ??????

So what do you know and explain?
I don’t understand how all this can be tracked (who is from which operator), who generally has the right to check my passport and, moreover, put some marks in it? Is it considered a foreign excursion to take a taxi or a yacht and go to some kind of bay or reef?

P.S, if there was such a paper about innovations, then it would have been scanned and posted on the Internet as an official. a document from the authorities that introduced this, and since nothing was introduced, let everyone draw conclusions for himself.

jabetta, you are an experienced tourist and you must understand that this is another nonsense.
Let's think logically, citizens of the Russian Federation and Ukraine have long been visa-free entry to Israel, right? SO. So, when you arrive in Egypt, you have every right to take a taxi, or a mini-bass or a regular bus, when you reach Taba, cross the border on your own, as many do, especially with companies, and go wherever you want, and not ask the hotel guide, but can we? + NOBODY has the right to forbid you this !!! About yachts in the same way, you can go to the port and rent a yacht for your company (so many people here also do it) for 1 day, and it will be legal, don’t you understand why all these crushes? :)

Where is the official law on tourism on the territory of Egypt with a change on the Pegasus website ??? return to their homeland to sue the TO for violation of the law. Lawyers will help. It's a shame, but this works for newcomers.

Yes, I thought so (the first thought was that this was Pegasus's amateur performance), but it wouldn't hurt to consult with the society (and volkis strongly insisted, he was there without a computer). But in general - this, of course, is utter impudence, to mislead people so much.

Yeah... you won't get bored with Pegasus. Worse guides have not met, do not take arrogance. Offensive such that they do not even consider it necessary to report a change in departure time.

In Sharm, such papers have already been slipped for tourists for several MOTs to sign. Moreover, my friends told me that they are asked to write specifically if we disobey, then insurance does not work in the necessary case. what you bought in the package of documents with your own money.

Yes, you are right, the people are suffering. So isn’t it time to arm yourself with knowledge to drag such guides and maintenance through the courts. It’s not difficult to take a photo of a hotel guide and that document in his hands at a meeting with tourists or make a video. to the court for moral compensation for harm caused on vacation by TO. For some reason, such numbers do not work with foreigners, they know how to behave.

ruuustik well, you remembered. After all, it was a recommendation after a long ban on trips to Egypt by Rostourism. They insure themselves, of course, - after all, the situation there in Cairo is not entirely stable. Well, nothing, the elections will be held - and it will be more clear - whether Egypt will remain open for us or not.

review, TO Pegasus
Guides deceive with trips to Israel, hang outright noodles about $ 96, they even brought a note under the door that, like, if you buy from other operators, then you won’t fly away, since you will have to pay for crossing the border.
My personal opinion. If you want to suffer, go.

on buses with tourists, where I travel to Israel with an escort, I tell tourists in detail and recommend that they keep the check paid when crossing the border until they return home, so that stupid guides can shut their mouths. In my albums there is a photo of this check included in the cost of the excursion when traveling to excursion to Israel.

what kind of nonsense - "if you buy from other operators then don't fly away, because you will have to pay for crossing the border." ---
This simply cannot be!
If a bus arrives and picks you up at the airport, and someone else is basking near the pool, then they are looking for it to the last, and no one leaves without a tourist!
ruuustik - Have you ever been to Egypt or Turkey?

nadin65-ruuustik is right. Hotel guides intimidate our tourists with this. I often hear such a question, but here's the answer to it. Keep the border tax as proof, and there will be no problems. you want it yourself.

aisha_sharm - thanks for the clarification.
But with us, thank God, nothing like this happened. On the contrary, we witnessed twice when tourists were simply in no hurry to leave for the airport, the whole bus was looking for them around the hotel, as a result, there was no time left for duty free, but right on the plane.
And the guides at the first meeting, asking that we were not the first time in Egypt, immediately lost interest in us and did not appear at the hotel (we were one couple, there were no more tourists from this MOT)

This year we were from Turtesse, and the guide was smart!
I didn't force anything on anyone! And even to those two couples who first came to Egypt, he explained and advised everything, even about street agencies he was not opposed. He said - this is your decision, if only there were tourists! And he told in detail how to get around Sharm cheaper and how much it costs, and indeed well done. For all our trips, only two guides were good, helpful.

A familiar girl from Marsa wrote to me just now (I asked her this question too), she answered me that there was no Pegasus in their hotel, where she works at the reception, so she called the next one and she was told that they had not heard anything like that. She gave me a link where to write a request about this (maybe this is not even the whole Pegasus, but the guide himself is weird). I’ll write now, for the sake of interest and benefit, if they answer, I’ll report here.
volkis made inquiries there on the spot, says that no other operator has anything like that signed. Thank God he calmed down.

Guide McD is something, I have not seen such a divorce for a long time. At the general meeting, he gave us the price lists of excursions, he was polite and friendly, to go to Israel $ 220 for one. As a result, having chosen another tour operator, we went for $ 220 - together. However, when the bus came for us, the guide from Pegast - McD ran out and lay on the hood, preventing the bus from leaving, as a result, he delayed us for an hour. After the trip, he did not want to communicate with us and behaved disparagingly.
